NEV Policies Latest New Policies on NEV The development of NEV is highly driven by government policies in China, and the recent important ones are: 1. New guidelines on automotive investment. A major highlight is that the door for traditional fuel-powered vehicle investment projects is virtually shut, but new Sino-foreign joint ventures that produce only battery electric vehicles will no longer be bound by the Automotive Industry Development Policy (AIDP) 2. Intelligent vehicles and self-driving technology are key components of China s new AI development plan. Electric vehicle shows advantages in becoming self-driving, compared with traditional fuel vehicle 3. The Parallel Administrative Measures for Passenger Vehicle Corporate Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Credits, otherwise known as the CAFC + NEV Dual Credit policy, a quota system to goad automakers to drastically expand electric vehicle production, is officially landed and to be enacted on April 1 st, 2018 1 China will gradually ban all fuel vehicle sales in the future, and is designing the timetable right now NEV subsidies are decreasing gradually. According to the newly updated subsidy standards in December 2016, the national subsidies in 2020 shall be reduced 20% compared with in 2019, while local subsidies should not exceed 50% of the national subsidies. Subsidies favor the models with high battery s energy density. For example, buyer for the BEV with battery energy density higher than 120Wh/kg can receive 1.1 times subsidies 2 Source: 1.
