On July 7, 17 departments including the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Several Measures to Revitalize Automobile Circulation and Expand Automobile Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as "Several Measures").The "Several Measures" responds to the issue that thenew energy vehicleindustry is currently most concerned about the extension of thenew energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy after it expires.

Support the purchase and use ofnew energyvehicles

The "Notice" formulated 12 measures to invigorate automobile circulation and expand automobile consumption from the following six aspects: first, to support the purchase and use of new energy vehicles; second, to accelerate the activation of the used car market; third, to promote automobile renewal consumption; Import; fifth, optimize the environment for automobile use; sixth, enrich automobile financial services.

Among them, in terms of supporting the purchase and use of new energy vehicles, specific measures are put forward from three dimensions: free circulation, support for consumption and convenience of use.

The first is to promote the free circulation of cross-regional vehicles and break the local protectionof the new energy vehicle market. Each region shall not set a local new energy vehicle model record catalogue, and shall not set unreasonable vehicle parameter indicators for the sales and consumption subsidies of new energy vehicle products.

The second is to support the consumption of new energy vehicles, and study the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy after it expires.Carry out in-depth activities of new energy vehicles going to the countryside, encourage qualified places to issue support policies for going to the countryside, guide enterprises to increase incentives for activities, and promote the consumption and use of new energy vehicles in rural areas.

(For more details, please read the "Notice of 17 Departments including the Ministry of Commerce on Several Measures to Revitalize Automobile Circulation and Expand Automobile Consumption")

Industry experts: it makes a lot of sense

"The notice of "Several Measures" is a systematic policy to comprehensively promote the consumption of automobiles in the whole life cycle. It has solved many institutional and institutional obstacles that restrict consumption and is conducive to revitalizing consumption. In particular, it has effectively solved the institutional and institutional obstacles to the circulation of second-hand cars. It is a good measure to promote the development of the dealer group system." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Passenger Association, affirmed several measures to invigorate automobile circulation and expand automobile consumption, saying that it is of great significance.

He pointed out in the article that through the incentive measures of some local policies such as filing indicators, the overall consumption of new energy vehicles has brought certain competitive differences and structural impacts, making it difficult for consumers to choose suitable models according to their needs.

"Promoting cross-regional free circulation and breaking the local protection of the new energy vehicle market" is conducive to the establishment of a unified national market, "especially when relatively more national consumption promotion policies have been introduced recently, and local consumption promotion policies are relatively strong. Regulating local policies is of great significance. At the same time, this move can effectively promote free cross-regional circulation, and the purchase policies for similar new energy products are the same, promoting fair competition in the market.”

According to Cui Dongshu, used car dealerships are still facing some pain points and difficulties in establishment, invoicing, and transactions.The "Several Measures" clearly accelerated the activation of the used car market, "adhering to the problem orientation, introducing a number of reform measures, and vigorously supporting the development of used car dealerships."

The business environment of used cars has been further improved, and the prices of used cars have been further balanced across the country,making consumers more willing to sell used cars and replace them with new ones. New cars and used cars in the auto market are fully circulated and developed.

Actively supporting the construction of charging facilities and guiding charging pile operators to appropriately reduce charging service fees will not only improve the convenience of parking and charging facilities, but also increase consumers' willingness to buy new energy vehicles.

Voice of the enterprise: subsidies should be implemented in the hands of users

On the afternoon of June 28, at the "Seminar on Focus Issues and Practice Paths of Logistics Vehicle Electrification" held at the same time as the 5th China New Energy Vehicle Industry Conference 2022, new energy commercial vehicle companies, operating companies, financial service companies, etc. The person in charge of the enterprise expressed his opinions and suggestions openly and honestly.

Regarding the issue of the national subsidy and the extension of the purchase tax exemption, participants have always believed that the cancellation of the new energy vehicle support policy during the macroeconomic downturn and the downturn of the entire industryis undoubtedly "worse. "Everyone unanimously called on the state to strengthen the support policy for commercial vehicles. "Thestate subsidies and purchase tax policies cannot only be reduced or refunded, but they must be strengthened."

At the same time, many participants suggested that subsidies should be implemented in the hands of users or operators. "Users or operators will be more willing to buy or promote the healthy development of the entire market when they receive subsidies, and can also drive the development of the industry chain."

"The key point of the policy is to emphasize differentiation. Without differentiation, there is no meaning." "It should not create more obstacles for new energy commercial vehicles and users, but to loosen them." In addition, in addition to national subsidies and Suggestions were made on the extension of the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption, and the guests at the meeting suggested that the relevant state departments shouldincrease support for new energy commercial vehicles in terms ofright of way, finance, insurance, double points, protection of drivers' rights and interests, and standardization .
