In fact, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology recently released the "Shenzhen Implementation Rules for Promoting the Subsidy Application for New Energy Car Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as the "Rules"), which also revealed a clear willingness to promote automobile consumption upgrades.
The "Detailed Rules" pointed out that the core purpose of this subsidy is to reduce the impact of the epidemic, increase the relief efforts of enterprises, promote the consumption of Shenzhen's new energy car market, and encourage individual consumers to purchase technologically advanced, safe and reliable new energy cars, etc. .
Specific to the subsidy rules, apply for the new energy vehicle index through the conventional method, buy a subsidy of 100,000-200,000 yuan per vehicle; subsidy of 10,000 yuan per vehicle for a purchase of more than 200,000 yuan; obtain the quota through a special lottery, buy new energy Vehicles need to be purchased in Shenzhen Administrative District (New District) with a price of 100,000 yuan and above.Among them, the subsidy of 100,000-200,000 yuan per vehicle is 10,000 yuan per vehicle; the subsidy of more than 200,000 yuan is 20,000 yuan per vehicle.
It can be seen from this that no matter which method is used to obtain the indicator, the more expensive the new energy vehicle is, the higher the subsidy amount can be obtained.
Zhang Xiang, dean of the New Energy Vehicle Technology Research Institute of Jiangxi New Energy Technology Vocational College, told the Securities Times · e company reporter that from the perspective of city managers, the release of car license plates may cause certain traffic congestion problems.The space occupied by a 300,000-yuan vehicle and a 30,000-yuan vehicle is similar. Under the circumstance that land resources and parking space resources are very tight, it is normal to guide applicants to purchase models with higher prices.The higher the selling price of the vehicle, the higher the accumulated retail sales, and the greater the contribution to Shenzhen's local GDP.
In his view, Shenzhen's recent policy to stimulate automobile consumption will have a significant effect on the local GDP.
