The state plans to subsidize new energy charging facilities

To promote the construction of new energy infrastructure such as charging piles, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “Circular on the Reward for the Construction of New Energy Vehicle Charging Facilities” (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”), indicating that the central government plans to allocate funds. The award of charging facilities for the promotion of new energy vehicle cities or city groups.

"The current lack of promotion of new energy vehicles is due to the lagging and imperfect infrastructure. The introduction of subsidies will obviously improve the situation and make the promotion of new energy vehicles more successful." A long-term concern for new energy vehicles People think. Before that, some industry analysts pointedly pointed out that the reason why some local governments lacked the enthusiasm for the promotion of new energy vehicles was that the government placed too much subsidies on car companies and only considered the production of car companies. The cost of researching and developing new energy vehicles has increased, but it has failed to consider the cost pressures of local governments on infrastructure.

According to the above notification, in the future, as long as the above-mentioned four ministries and commissions are approved, the new energy vehicles that have achieved outstanding results and no local protection are promoted to cities or city groups; other cities or urban groups that have not yet filed for the promotion but have achieved better results are reported by the program. IV. After filing with the ministry, the ministry can receive corresponding financial subsidy awards.

Regarding the effectiveness of local government promotion, the four ministries and commissions clearly set the minimum standards, and cities or urban agglomerations in key areas of atmospheric pollution control in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta regions, and the number of new energy vehicles in 2013 is not low. In 2,500 units, the number is not less than 5,000 units in 2014, and not less than 10,000 units in 2015; cities or urban groups in other regions are not less than 1,500 units in 2013, and not less than 3,000 units in 2014, and not lower in 2015. In 5000 vehicles. (The number of promotion is calculated based on the standard of pure electric passenger cars. Other types of new energy vehicles are converted according to the corresponding ratio. The plug-in hybrid passenger car and its conversion ratio is 1:1, while the plug-in hybrid passenger car is pure. The conversion rate of electric buses and lithium-titanate and other pure electric fast-charging passenger cars is 5:1, 12:1 and 20:1 respectively.) Those who meet the standards can receive subsidies. According to the amount of promotion, the subsidy standards are also different, with a maximum of 120 million yuan and a minimum of 10 million yuan.

However, there may not be many local governments that can obtain 2013 incentives**. The promotion of new energy vehicles in demonstration cities (groups) previously announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that from January 2013 to September 2014, the number of new energy vehicles has been promoted. There are only seven cities and regions with more than 1,500 vehicles. Of these seven cities, more were promoted in 2014 than in 2013. According to the “First Financial Daily” reporter, 2013 The number of cities that promoted new energy vehicles was Hefei, Anhui, which reached 2,532. According to the reporter's knowledge from the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Committee, from 2013 to the first half of this year, the number of new energy vehicles promoted in Shanghai exceeded 2,200. More than 1,400 vehicles were completed in the first half of this year. However, according to the amount of new energy vehicle targets announced by local governments in 2014, more cities and regions will win national awards this year.

Some people think that due to the higher conversion ratios of passenger cars and electric passenger cars, the government may be more inclined to support electric buses or buses in the promotion of new energy vehicles, compared to new energy passenger vehicles. The promotion of new energy vehicles in the public transport sector will not only facilitate centralized management and control, but also facilitate the laying of infrastructure and maximize resources and costs.

According to the above notice, the charging facilities provided by the State will be strictly “specialized for exclusive use”, and will be used in areas such as the construction and operation of charging facilities, transformation and upgrading, and the construction of charge and exchange service network operation and monitoring systems, and shall not be used for subsidy for the purchase of new energy vehicles. At the same time, the four ministries and commissions organize an annual comprehensive assessment of new energy vehicles to promote the city or city group, the incentive funds will be based on the annual assessment of the new city of energy vehicles to promote the promotion or downgrade.
