When the time officially enters the traditional sense of 2022, the vision of the new year is undoubtedly the biggest driving force for our next work and life. Along with the new year, there are various changes that keep up with the evolution of the times, especially in the automotive industry, with the changes in travel efficiency, habits and market ownership and different market structures, automobile policies will also be reformed to achieve more humane and in line with the law of market development. Therefore, today, Xiaobian will talk about some policy reforms that the automotive industry will carry out in 2022.
For the new energy automobile industry, consumers and car companies are most concerned about the issue of subsidies. However, as new energy vehicles gradually gain a foothold in the market, the national subsidy policy for new energy vehicles naturally needs to be gradually contracted. Just on December 31, 2021, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly released that the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles in 2022 will be reduced by 30% on the basis of 2021, and it is clear that the subsidy for new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31, 2022, and the vehicles on the license plate will no longer be subsidized.
It is not difficult to see from the announcement that new energy subsidies will not only be further contracted this year, but also this year is also the last year of new energy subsidies, so friends who want to obtain new energy subsidies will be the last time to start this year. From the perspective of the market, with the further contraction of subsidies, car companies in order to stabilize revenue, model price increases are inevitable, for example, on January 11, Xiaopeng Automobile announced the price of its full range of models after the latest subsidies. Among them, the price of the Xiaopeng P7 series of models increased by 4300-5900 yuan, and the price of the Xiaopeng P5 series increased by 4800-5400 yuan. At the same time, Tesla also announced at the end of December last year that the rear-wheel drive versions of the Model 3 and Model Y would be priced by 10,000 yuan and 21,000 yuan, respectively.
From the perspective of market layout, the price increase brought about by subsidy contraction is inevitable, after all, this is only a matter of left pocket into right pocket. From the perspective of the current layout of the new energy market, although the subsidy decline will have an impact on brands specializing in the new energy field such as "Wei Xiaoli", BYD and Tesla, after the market accepts the subsidy decline, the overall market will return to stability, after all, the consumption orientation of this market is stronger, and the user portrait is clearer.
But relatively speaking, for some traditional car companies that take traditional fuel vehicles as the keynote and turn to the fuel vehicle market, the subsidy decline will further open up the price gap between their fuel models and new energy models, and this part of the price difference is also the core of consumers' choice of new energy vehicles. Especially in cities with limited licenses, whether this part of the price difference is lower than the cost of auctioning, as well as the experience of electric vehicles and the travel costs saved by them, whether they can meet the psychological expectations of consumers will be very important. Otherwise, subsidy declines may push consumers into the arms of more accepted brands.
Compared with the subsidies of real money and silver, it is naturally a quality problem of cars that is closely related to automobile consumers. On January 1 of this year, the new version of the "three guarantees policy" was officially implemented. The new version of the three-guarantee policy has two main directions, one of which is to put forward stricter liability requirements for operators, and the age of the "new three-guarantee policy" will be calculated from the delivery date of the model, rather than the previously vague "invoice date" or "date of listing", so as to avoid the controversy that may arise from some delayed delivery models.
The second is that the new three-guarantee policy has increased the detailed guarantee standards for new energy vehicles, and batteries and driving drive motors have also entered the ranks of major components. But most importantly, in the new version of the three-guarantee policy, it is clearly stipulated that the family car is calculated within 7 days from the validity period of the three guarantees, and if there is a quality problem that requires the replacement of the engine, transmission, power battery, driving drive motor or its main components, the seller should be replaced or returned free of charge according to the choice of the consumer.
In addition, the past three-guarantee policy stipulates that if the cumulative maintenance of the same quality problem exceeds 5 times during the validity period of the three guarantees, or the vehicle maintenance time exceeds 35 days, it will be replaced; after the new version of the three-guarantee policy, the number of maintenance will be reduced to 4 times, and the cumulative repair time of more than 30 days will need to be given to change the car.
After talking about the policy adjustment on car purchase and rights protection, the following is the policy adjustment of car use. On April 1 of this year, the domestic automobile scoring management method will usher in a new round of adjustment, and the majority of car owners must pay attention.
On April 1, 2022, the Ministry of Public Security's newly revised "Measures for the Administration of Scoring of Road Traffic Safety Violations" will be officially implemented, which mainly involves the adjustment and improvement of the scoring management system for drivers. The first is that the "Measures" focus on the implementation of the law deduction measures, for those who participate in the study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge and pass the examination, or participate in the traffic safety public welfare activities organized by the public security traffic management department, those who meet the conditions for deducting points can deduct points from the accumulated points, and a maximum of 6 points can be deducted in a scoring cycle.
The second is to adjust the penalty deduction for various types of traffic violations, and the score of a score is from 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, 1 point and five grades. Adjusted to 12 points, 9 points, 6 points, 3 points, 1 minute five gears. At the same time, the penalty deduction for violations has also been adjusted, such as driving a motor vehicle that does not match the type of quasi-driving (12 points reduced to 9 points), driving a motor vehicle that does not avoid school buses according to regulations (6 points reduced to 3 points), driving a motor vehicle that violates the prohibition signs, and prohibiting marking instructions (3 points reduced to 1 point). From this adjustment, it can be seen that the traffic penalties have become more refined, and the appropriate reduction of the penalties for certain violations not only makes the 12 points more "durable", but also highlights the humane care of the relevant departments.
The third is the most concerned place in the "Measures", that is, the adjustment of the penalty for high-speed driving, according to the latest regulations, driving on urban expressways, ordinary roads, and high-speed sections, speeding below 20% does not need to deduct points, that is to say, according to the domestic maximum limit speed of 120km/h, it is equivalent to allowing high-speed driving speed in disguise not more than 144km/h.
While increasing the tolerance of speeding penalties, the "Measures" also introduced a punishment method for slow driving on highways for the first time in the "Measures", and the new regulations clearly stipulate the penalties for turtle speed driving, and the minimum speed below the road limit is also deducted 3 points. So owners who like to travel at turtle speeds should be cautious.
If you want to say which consumer market changes the fastest, I personally feel that the non-automobile market is nothing, from car purchase, car use to after-sales, the content involved is closely related to us, so every year there will be corresponding policies and management adjustments, so as to protect our consumer rights and travel safety. As a Chinese citizen, but also a domestic consumer, we must not only understand the relevant protection policies to protect our own rights and interests, but also fulfill the obligations of a citizen, to abide by the rules and regulations set by the state, and to be a car owner who abides by the law and discipline.
