Cancel the resumption of the local directory of new energy vehicles

On November 5, according to the Voice of China Nightmare, a news report, more and more consumers are now willing to choose new energy vehicles. However, local protectionism is still one of the most troublesome issues facing its production companies when they promote new energy vehicles. Recently, there have been media reports, accompanied by the introduction of the “Detailed Implementation Rules for the Fair Competition Review System (Interim)” and the resumption of the call for the promotion of local energy catalogs for new energy vehicles. In the case of new energy vehicle subsidy declining year by year, can the cancellation of local new energy vehicle promotion catalog come true?

According to reports, on October 17, the “Measures for the Parallel Management of the Average Fuel Consumption of Passenger Vehicles and New Energy Vehicles in Passenger Vehicles” jointly organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine were issued. At the conference, the experts of the participating auto industry proposed that they are advising relevant departments to cancel the local directory for the promotion of new energy vehicles. On October 23, the “Detailed Implementation Rules for the Fair Competition Review System (Interim)” jointly issued by the five departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission also stipulated that there should be no basis for laws and regulations and that the potential managers should not be excluded or restricted by setting up project libraries or directory bases. Goods and services; at the same time, there is no basis for laws and regulations, and market access barriers cannot be set in the form of filing, listing, setting up branches, etc. The cancellation of local new energy vehicle promotion catalogs seems to be just around the corner.

Industry sources pointed out that the focus behind local new energy vehicle promotion catalogs is local subsidies. In Beijing, a brand new energy car 4S shop, a salesman said that at the moment it has yet to be heard that the local directory will be cancelled. “This is not good because electric vehicles manufacturers and government subsidies may have some impact. However, there is no change now, and this may change at any time. Some places do not have catalogues, and subsidy prices are not the same. For example, our area is good, and the price of sales in each area is different."

A brand of 4S shop sales indicates that the current subsidy of the model sold is divided into two parts: state subsidies and local subsidies. However, even if the local promotion catalog is cancelled in the future, the prices of consumer terminals will not be too different. “The price is 12 After the price comes out, even if there is less subsidies next year, manufacturers will make up. Beijing subsidy is the highest."

It is understood that in addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other cities have also introduced local new energy vehicle promotion catalog. In some places, although there are no local catalogues, they are different inside and outside. To protect local companies, there will be corresponding subsidies for locally produced new energy vehicles, and there will be little subsidies for foreign products.

In the face of the discussion on canceling the local new energy vehicle promotion catalogue, some people think that if the subsidy for new energy vehicles is declining year by year, whether or not the local directory is cancelled has little significance. A staff member said: "It is possible that the state will implement a 20 percent reduction in the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles next year, but when did the specific situation begin, there is no news. Now there are 440,000 countries and 22,000 places. It is not clear when we will issue it."

According to industry insiders, on the one hand, the country hopes that all regions will actively promote new energy vehicles, compete fairly, and allow better products and technologies to gain a larger market; but on the other hand, local governments will use local finance to subsidize new energy vehicles. It is also reasonable to take care of local companies in promotion. It is difficult to stop them completely.

According to Du Fangci, an advisor to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the reason why the local new energy vehicle promotion catalog is difficult to cancel is that its roots lie in subsidies. "For the local government, it is necessary to consider his problems because he has to make up local finances. It is also a reason for the local protection of new energy vehicles or a number of practices that have to be made in various provinces and municipalities because the subsidies for new energy vehicles now have a large amount of subsidy for each vehicle, which also places great financial pressure on local governments."

Du Fangci believes that if the local protection in the new energy promotion can be removed, it can promote the improvement of product quality and consumer protection. “The local protection of the automobile industry has always been relatively strong. For new energy vehicles, this It is a continuation of the thinking in the past that the market must be open and fair, otherwise it will be difficult for us to modernize, and local protection is not conducive to the improvement of product quality. It is absolutely necessary to remove local protection in the automobile industry, and we hope to promote it more quickly. For consumers, it is also a kind of protection. Consumers have the right to choose, and local protection actually limits the rights that consumers choose."
