The government of Guangzhou in north China plans to provide local subsidies for pure electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid EVs at 50% of the state subsidy from July 1

SHANGHAI, Jun 7 (SMM) – The government of Guangzhou in north China plans to provide local subsidies for pure electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid EVs, at 50% of the state subsidy from July 1, according to the government draft for public comments released on June 5.

Overall subsidies, including state and local subsidies, will not exceed 60% of the vehicle's sale price. Local subsidies for fuel cell EVs will not exceed 100% of the state subsidy.

Such local subsides are applied to EVs that are bought, registered and used across Guangzhou and that are on the national new-energy vehicle (NEV) recommendation list. Subsidies have to be returned if the vehicle is moved out of the region within three years.

Additionally, the government plans to apply special license plates to NEVs to promote the use of NEVs. Lower parking fee and tolls for NEVs are also under discussion.

Cost-Inventory Game, Market Consolidates to Find Bottom [SMM Magnesium Weekly Data]

[Cost-Inventory Game, Market Consolidating to Find Bottom] This week, dolomite prices remained stable. Magnesium ingot prices, affected by coal and ferrosilicon, fell first and then rebounded slightly, but high social inventory kept supply pressure in place. Foreign trade FOB prices followed the domestic decline, overseas demand fell short of expectations, the September-October peak season failed to materialize, traders stayed on the sidelines, and downside was limited. Magnesium powder fluctuated with magnesium ingot, with only rigid-demand small orders. Although magnesium alloy smelting saw production cuts, inventory piled up, die-casting operations were weak, orders were insufficient, and processing fees were under pressure. End-use demand showed no improvement, and the magnesium market is expected to maintain a fluctuating trend in search of a bottom in the short term.
