In accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, since 2009, the Ministry of Finance and relevant departments have vigorously supported the development of the new energy vehicle industry. With the joint efforts of all parties, our country’s new energy vehicle technology level has been continuously improved, product performance has been significantly improved, and the production and sales scale has ranked the first in the world for six years.

The official business of Party and government bodies shall not be reduced in 2020, but the reduced in 2021-2022 by 10% and 20% respectively from a year earlier. In principle, the subsidized vehicles shall be capped at roughly 2 million units per year. “In 2021, facing the adverse effects as the spread of the global epidemic and the shortage of chips, new energy vehicle industry still achieve substantial growth, and the industry is developing in a good trend. In 2022, the subsidy policy will continue to decline in an orderly manner according to the established arrangements, which create a stable policy environment. The four ministries recently issued the Notice, clarifying the relevant requirements of the financial subsidy policy.
