Although all kinds of remarks on the Internet about new energy car purchase policies have long been noisy, the state still implements strong preferential policies to help the development of new energy enterprises. However, the recent revelations of a Tesla employee on the Internet seem to cast a shadow on this booming land.
According to the news, Tesla has sent an email to employees with the content of collecting purchase taxes next year. After reviewing the relevant information, Xiaobian found that the time of exemption from vehicle purchase tax for new energy vehicles can be traced back to September 1, 2014, and the policy time limit has been extended in 2017 and 2020.
The latest policy initiative was released in 2020, and the announcement shows that the purchase of new energy vehicles from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 will enjoy the purchase tax exemption. As of yesterday, there was no new round of policy.
If it is true that as stated in the exposé, a car purchase tax will be added next year, then it is definitely bad news for most car companies and new energy vehicle buyers. Taking BYD, a leading car company in the domestic new energy industry, as an example, its many new energy models are priced at 20W+, and after losing the preferential purchase tax policy, the cost of buying a car will be nearly 20,000-30,000 yuan more than now.
For some models, the lack of purchase tax reduction and exemption will cause a great impact. Like the Hongguang MINI EV, which only won the sales championship of the whole car series last month, it is a model that focuses on price, and the car purchase intention crowd will be more sensitive to price. Competitors at the same price point, such as QQ ice cream, will also be greatly affected.
Without the blessing of preferential policies, the price of new energy vehicles will be difficult to maintain the same level as competing fuel vehicles. However, according to the previous state's support for the new energy industry, it should not be directly "one size fits all". It is believed that the relevant departments will introduce a pertinent policy measure according to the current market situation.
