The decline in the passenger car market has improved and new energy vehicles performed brightly in the first half of the year.

SMM7, March 9, 2019: on March 26, 2019, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the notice on further improving the Financial subsidy Policy for the Popularization and Application of New Energy vehicles. The new subsidy policy has increased the intensity of slope retreat on the basis of 2018, with an average retreat rate of 50% for passenger cars, passenger cars and special purpose vehicles. At the same time, the new policy has also abolished land subsidies and replaced them with subsidies for infrastructure such as charging / hydrogenation.

On June 25, the three-month subsidy retrogression transition period ended, and the new subsidy policy in 2019 has been officially implemented since June 26. At present, Beijing, Chongqing and other places have issued documents to implement the latest standards. Beijing announced the abolition of ground replacement for pure electric vehicles from June 26; fuel cell vehicles are still subsidised in accordance with central 1 / 0.5. Chongqing, on the other hand, has changed its policy focus from "car replacement" to "electricity replenishment", and has strengthened its support for infrastructure construction such as charging piles and hydrogen filling stations.

Judging from the current position of automobile manufacturers, in addition to BYD, GAC New Energy, Weima and other auto companies insist not to raise prices, BAIC New Energy, Geely, SAIC New Energy and Great Wall Euler and other car companies said they would fine-tune appropriately.

From January to June, the cumulative sales of narrow passenger cars in China was 9954232, a decline of 9.3 per cent.

It is worth noting that in the first six months of this year, the car market in the cold winter, new energy vehicles have become a major bright spot in the car market. A number of domestic new energy vehicle enterprises increased their sales of new energy vehicles in the first half of the year.

On July 8th Geely released sales figures for June.

When new energy subsidies entered the transition period in June, new energy vehicles were still wholesale 134000, an increase of 38.7 percent over the previous month, an increase of 98.7 percent from January to June over the same period last year, and a total of 577000 new energy narrow passenger vehicles from January to June, an increase of 65.9 percent over the same period last year, indicating that the new energy vehicle market has undergone a rapid transformation from policy promotion to market promotion. Some people believe that the wholesale sales of new energy vehicles have risen during the subsidy transition period, which means that "new energy passenger cars are gradually getting rid of their dependence on policy."

At the same time, the rapid expansion of demand for electric vehicles in the online ride-hailing and taxi market has also become a factor in the continuous increase in electric vehicle sales, and the travel market also provides sufficient space for the future development of electric vehicles. Coupled with the implementation of the "double points" policy, outstanding independent brands will continue to invest in the research and development of new energy vehicles in the future. Thus it can be seen that China's new energy vehicle market still has great potential for development.
