New energy vehicles: pick me up? A complete interpretation of Shanghai’s regional policies

The license auction in July ended with the lowest transaction price of 88,300 yuan, which was higher than the lowest transaction price in June in 500 yuan. The price of the license plate and the success probability of 1: 20 make many car owners flinch from the Shanghai license plate, but they can’t get the license plate, so the time on the road can only be delayed.

For people living in Shanghai, it’s no news that "it’s hard to draw cards, but it’s hard to go to the sky". In recent years, the new energy vehicles that have gradually warmed up can be licensed for free. We use the data to help you make a comparison of car maintenance expenses. Look at new energy vehicles, is it worth picking up?

Say “No "to" eat dirt "

First of all, let’s calculate the car maintenance cost of choosing a new energy car.

We have sorted out five popular new energy vehicles for you, and after selecting them, we can know their charging costs and the fuel costs required by fuel vehicles with similar cost performance. Click view interaction > > >

It is not difficult to find that even charging your car with the most expensive electricity is cheaper than refueling.

According to the Blue Book of New Energy Vehicles: China New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Report (2017) issued by China Automobile Industry Association, the annual income of new energy vehicle users in second-and third-tier cities is mostly less than 200,000 yuan. Even in Shanghai, where the annual income is high, there are still 55% users whose annual income is less than 200,000 yuan.

The low cost of new energy vehicles has become a major reason for its popularity, and besides saving money on car maintenance, its threshold price for buying a car is not high.

According to the price data of "car home" website, we found that from 2017, the main market force of new energy vehicles in Shanghai changed from the original mid-priced vehicles (200,000-400,000) to low-priced vehicles (0,000-200,000). The reason why low-priced cars gradually stand out is that on the one hand, it costs less to buy and maintain cars; On the other hand, large-scale production and technological progress have greatly reduced the cost of production, and consumers can buy ideal new energy vehicles with less money-saving money and high quality, and more people choose, and the market share naturally increases. In addition, in recent years, the types of new energy vehicles have increased significantly. The number of models listed in the first half of 2018 alone reached nearly 4/5 of that in 2017.

Is it difficult to charge in Shanghai?

As a new technology, many people have concerns about its convenience. The most important thing is charging.

According to the information displayed on the charging map of www.evchargeonline.com, the only official platform designated by the Shanghai Municipal Government, we have captured 3,931 charging site data. It can be found that public charging piles are mainly distributed in the central city, while private charging piles account for the vast majority in the suburbs.

At present, the total number of charging piles in Shanghai is 31,235, but the number and density of charging stations in different administrative regions are quite different. Jinshan and Qingpu districts are the least friendly to new energy vehicles. In these areas where the distribution density of charging piles is low, the embarrassing situation that there is no charging station around the half-way car without electricity may occur. The distribution density of charging stations in some central cities such as Hongkou, Huangpu and Changning is in the forefront. Take Huangpu District as an example. Even in the city center, there are 4 charging stations per square kilometer, which is very convenient. Although the number of charging stations in Jiading, Minhang and Pudong New Area ranks in the top three, due to their large areas, the charging stations are scattered and diluted, and the charging convenience is still not as good as that in the upper corner.

Shanghai New Energy License Application Guide

If you have decided to choose a new energy vehicle, how can you enjoy the benefits of "free Shanghai brand"?

According to the Interim Measures for the Pilot Implementation of Encouraging Private Purchase and Use of New Energy Vehicles in Shanghai in 2012, consumers can get the Shanghai brand free of charge after purchasing a new energy vehicle of a specified model, with the identity certificate of Shanghai resident ID card or residence certificate and the car purchase invoice. In 2015, the application conditions were increased year by year, and having a fixed charging pile became a necessary condition. In 2016, the credit information link was added for the first time, and the requirements for applicants were stricter:

Non-Shanghai residents who hold a valid residence permit in this city and have paid social security in this city for one year in the past 24 months.

Shanghai residents with good credit status

Active servicemen and armed police

Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents, overseas Chinese and foreigners who hold valid identity documents and have lived in this city for more than one year.

In 2018, on this basis, the condition that there is no record of road traffic safety violations within one year was added.

The license policy may be gradually tightened. For cities with serious license restrictions, everyone can take a pit first!

The general trend of subsidy policy: cutting low and supplementing high

In recent years, the state has made several major adjustments to the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles. In 2016, the entry threshold for subsidies for pure electric vehicles was raised for the first time, and those with cruising range below 100km were no longer subsidized; In 2018, on this basis, the entry threshold for mileage will be raised to 150km, and the subsidy zone will be further divided. According to the country’s long-term plan for the new energy automobile industry, subsidies will be abolished in 2020, and new car owners will no longer be attracted by license and subsidy policies.

In addition to the change of cruising range division, from the trend of subsidy amount, since 2016, the subsidy amount of each mileage interval has been reduced, and the reduction rate has been maintained at least 20%, while the two new mileage division intervals of 300-400km and over 400km have gone against the current, which shows that with the normalization of new energy vehicles in recent years, "cutting low and supplementing high" is the general trend of subsidy policy, and new energy vehicles with long cruising range will also be in the next few years.

At the same time, the new policy puts forward a series of technical indicators for the endurance of new energy vehicles, and vehicles with higher battery energy density and lower energy consumption will receive more subsidies. This is good news for consumers. The cruising range and energy consumption of new energy vehicles will be improved, and the practicality will be greatly enhanced.

Generally speaking, the technology of new energy vehicles has been gradually improved, which makes them more competitive in the automobile market regardless of price or performance. In recent years, new energy vehicles have gradually entered people’s lives and become an indispensable part of the urban transportation system. With the popularization of new energy vehicles, the relevant policies are becoming stricter and more standardized, and the stereotype that new energy vehicles are "difficult to charge" is gradually disappearing because of the maturity of supporting facilities system.

In terms of energy saving and emission reduction, new energy vehicles have played a prominent role, or will become the main tool for future travel. For consumers, whether it is to seize the policy opportunity now or wait for the technology update with a wait-and-see attitude, you may wish to list new energy vehicles as the best candidate on your wish list!
