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.
April, 2020, the four ministries (the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Development and Reform Commission) jointly issued the notice of improving the policies on Government Subsidies for Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles (Finance and Construction [2020] No. 86). “In principle, the subsidies for 2020-2022 shall be cut by 10%, 20% and 30%, eligible vehicles for public transportation.

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.
