SHANGHAI, Mar 11 (SMM) - In January, 313,000 new energy passenger vehicles were insured, a sharp increase of 114% from 146,000 units in the same period last year, but a 35% decline from December 2021. The NEV sales of both long-established car makers and start-ups increased significantly. For example, BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Great Wall, Chery, NIO, LiAuto and Xiaopeng saw robust sales. The market supply was further diversified, but this also intensified market competition.

The top ten best-selling models accounted for 42% of the domestic new energy market in January. Six out of the top ten NEV models came from BYD. BYD Dolphin, which was sold at an unit price of around 100,000 yuan, has become very popular with young people since its debut. From the perspective of battery type, the installed capacity of LFP batteries of the top ten models was 3.1 GWH and accounted for 76%, which continued to surpass that of NMC batteries. The installed capacity of NMC batteries stood at 1 GWH and its proportion declined to 24%.

NEVs May Have to Pay Road Maintenance Fees Too? Insiders Reveal Tax and Fee Reforms Including "Road Maintenance Fees"

Recently, the continuously increasing curb weight of NEVs has become a hot topic in the industry, sparking heated discussions on whether NEVs should pay "road maintenance fees." According to multiple industry insiders, relevant authorities are already studying related policies. In addition to the allocation of road maintenance fees, this will involve more tax and fee systems related to the automotive industry, in order to make the system "keep pace with the times" and adapt to the new industry landscape. This means that the tax exemption benefits for NEVs may gradually phase out, shifting from "industry support" to "cost sharing." Wang Ning, Director of the Center for Automotive Industry and Technology Strategy at the School of Automotive and Energy, Tongji University, said in an interview, "From a long-term perspective, 'equal rights for gasoline and electric vehicles' is the future trend." Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of the CPCA, who was the first to propose the special policy of converting road maintenance fees into taxes, also explicitly stated that the traditional road tax and fee system, which is tied to fuel consumption, has shown significant structural imbalance, making tax system iteration and upgrading imperative.
