When it comes to new energy vehicle companies, Tesla is an unavoidable topic. Like it or hate it, we should all thank Tesla for its great contribution to Chinese cars. This time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave Tesla 1.2 billion yuan.
1. 13.2 billion new energy vehicle subsidies?
Recently, in the new energy subsidy announcement table released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the proposed pre-allocated subsidy funds for new energy vehicles in 2019-2020 have reached nearly 13.2 billion yuan. Among them, the highest amount of subsidies is BYD, up to 2.45 billion; followed by Tesla, with 1.22 billion yuan. The third place is Weilai foundry Jianghuai Automobile, which can get 800 million yuan. According to the data, as of the end of last year, the cumulative amount of subsidies for new energy vehicles in the mainland exceeded 140 billion yuan. It is worth mentioning that this year is the last year of the new energy subsidy policy, and the subsidy for new energy vehicles will be completely stopped from next year.
2. Why thank Tesla?
Some people believe that the state financial subsidies should be given to independent brands, not to foreign Tesla, after all, it is the world's largest new energy vehicle company. Tesla in the new energy automobile industry, indeed a ride on the dust, any other car company is difficult to compete with it. According to the data, the global sales of new energy vehicles in 2021 will be 6.5 million, of which Tesla will sweep the world, with sales of 940,000 vehicles, winning the global sales championship, which is 1.6 times that of BYD in second place. Tesla has a clear advantage, compared with other competitors, there is a crushing advantage.
From the sales point of view, Tesla already has a huge number of car owners and potential consumers in the world's major auto markets such as China, the United States and Europe. From the perspective of factories, Tesla's factories in China and the United States have long been completed and put into operation, and the Berlin factory in Europe is also about to be put into operation. Tesla's global layout is difficult for other new energy vehicle companies to match. Moreover, Tesla's "S3XY" series of models sells 100,000 yuan worldwide, with an average price of more than 200,000+, all of which are pure electric vehicles, regardless of product strength or brand power, and are the leaders of the new energy automobile industry.
3. Contributing greatly to Chinese automobiles?
In fact, Tesla has contributed a lot to Chinese cars, and we have come up with 1.2 billion yuan to thank it. First of all, Tesla can't do without China, and the Shanghai Gigafactory has helped it solve the problem of "capacity hell" in order to soar. At the same time, in this process, Tesla has also helped cultivate and improve the industrial chain of the new energy automobile industry in the mainland. After Tesla entered China, the mainland gave birth to power battery giant Ningde era, automotive structural parts leader Tuopu Group, thermal control system Sanhua intelligent control and other enterprises, is the world's new energy automobile industry chain is the most complete country.
Second, Tesla has opened its patents on new energy vehicles to the world. Of course, this has an attempt to unify industry standards, but objectively it has also completely changed the past era of fuel vehicles, and large multinational car companies have monopolized the existence of patent barriers in core technologies, reducing the threshold for entering new energy vehicles. As a result, many new car-making forces in China, such as Weilai, Xiaopeng, Ideal and other car companies, can enter this track with confidence and boldness, develop their own products and operate their own brands. China's new energy automobile industry can bloom with a hundred flowers, thanks to Tesla.
Finally, Tesla's "catfish effect" has forced China's new energy vehicle companies to change from "flowers in the greenhouse" to "pioneers who cut through thorns". Once upon a time, the new energy automobile industry was full of chaos, cheating and compensation were rampant, and 150 kilometers of endurance dared to sell more than 200,000 people, and almost all the products flowed to the online ride-hailing travel market... After Tesla entered China, with excellent product strength, it woke up the independent new energy vehicle companies that hid in the greenhouse of subsidy policies, BYD developed rapidly, Wei Xiaoli's monthly sales exceeded 10,000, GAC, Great Wall, Geely, and Chery made great strides to catch up, and China's new energy vehicle market completed its transformation.
