Subsidy shrunk low-mileage models parked

After a four-month transition period, different brands of new energy vehicle manufacturers have appropriate solutions to the various regulations of the New Deal. A few days ago, Beijing Commercial Daily reporter visited a number of different brands of 4S stores and discovered that since the start of the “Notice on Adjusting and Perfecting the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles” (hereinafter referred to as the “New Deal”) on June 12, each new Energy vehicles are gradually reducing the production and supply of low-cruise-model vehicles, and gradually turning to the promotion of high-cruise-mile models.

It is understood that the New Deal announced in February this year has undergone great changes in the subsidy program for new energy vehicles. Among them, during the transition period, vehicles that are on the market are issued at a rate of 0.7 times the 2017 standard. In addition, the most noteworthy is that the New Deal in 2018 has eliminated subsidies for pure electric vehicles with cruising range below 150 kilometers; vehicle subsidies for cruising range between 150-300 kilometers have been lowered by 20%-50%; For vehicles with a cruising range of 300 kilometers or more, the subsidy will be raised step by step, with a maximum state subsidy of 50,000 yuan. The policy resources are obviously inclined to high-end mileage models.

The reporter saw in a 4S shop of Beiqi New Energy that consumers who come to buy cars are more inclined to high mileage models. When asked if there were two models of EC180 and EC200, a salesperson in the store told reporters: "Since the New Deal does not subsidize or subsidize low-endurance vehicles, the manufacturers now have no production of these two vehicles. Basically, at the end of May these low-endurance models have not been sold, and now the cheapest EX360 price is about 88,900 yuan, and the cruising range is about 360 kilometers, which is very competitive."

In Guangzhou Automobile New Energy 4S shop, the reporter learned that on the day of the implementation of the New Deal, GAC New Energy announced the price of the latest GE3 530, but this new car will have to wait until August to arrive at the store. “At present, only the old GE3 is sold in the store, and the cruising range can reach 300 kilometers. The vehicle with low cruising range has not been produced yet,” one salesman told reporters.

For BYD, which has an inherent battery advantage, electric vehicles have always been a booster for corporate brand promotion. Beijing Commercial Daily reporter learned that in a BYD 4S shop with a variety of pure electric models, the main push in the store is the Qin EV450 and e5 450. A BYD sales manager revealed that “The two vehicles have a range of 480 kilometers, and it is now very mainstream. It is enough to drive this car out of a distance.” When asked if there are any models with low cruising range, he said, “Before the Qin EV300 and Song EV300 were able to reach about 270 kilometers, although the battery life was not short, but the manufacturers did not produce any more at the beginning of this year. ".

At the same time, in Chery's new energy vehicle sales shop, sales staff pushed the reporter to press the Tiggo 3XE, priced at 105,800 yuan, and the mileage can reach 350 kilometers. For everyone familiar with the small ants eQ1, the above sales said that due to upgrading, currently only 251 km range of models in the normal sale, the new battery life of 300 km or more to wait until July to have a new car, and previously cruising mileage The 180 km eQ1 was discontinued last year, and only a few dealers have stock cars. Similarly, in the Geely 4S shop, sales executives told reporters that there are now only two models of the Di Hao EV450 and Dorsett GSe. "EV300 has been discontinued, and it is now selling the remaining small amount of inventory." The Geely sales told reporters.

According to industry sources, the implementation of the New Deal forced new energy auto companies to abandon low-endurance, low-tech vehicles, and instead devoted more resources to the development of new technologies, focusing on the improvement of “quality”. At the same time, since the country’s subsidy policy for new energy vehicles will be cancelled after 2020, the new policies that are gradually changed every year are also revealing that new energy auto companies should gradually set aside their dependence on state subsidies and turn to the competition in the market. This will only promote the development of new energy vehicles in China in a more optimal direction.
