Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Taxation Administration have jointly announced adjustments to the technical requirements for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles eligible for vehicle purchase tax exemptions from 2026 to 2027, aiming to enhance the overall quality and performance of new energy vehicles in the market [1]. Summary by Category Adjustments to Technical Requirements - For pure electric vehicles, the new regulations stipulate that the energy consumption for traveling 100 kilometers must not exceed the national standard for similar vehicles. Heavier vehicles (over 3.5 tons) will be held to stricter energy consumption standards based on the 3.5-ton model [3]. - For plug-in hybrid vehicles, including those that can be charged and fueled, the new rules require that: - The effective electric range must be at least 100 kilometers when running solely on electricity. - The fuel and electricity consumption must be lower than the national standards when running on fuel alone. - Similar to pure electric vehicles, heavier models must adhere to the standards set for 3.5-ton vehicles [4]. Implementation Timeline - Starting January 1, 2026, vehicles listed in the "Directory of New Energy Vehicles Eligible for Vehicle Purchase Tax Exemption" must comply with the new requirements. Vehicles already listed before December 31, 2025, that meet the new standards will automatically transition to the 2026 first period directory, while those that do not will be removed [6]. - Vehicles that do not meet the new requirements but wish to be included in the 2026 first period directory must complete their application by December 12, 2025. Removed vehicles can reapply for inclusion [7]. Impact on Consumers and Industry - Consumers may face changes in purchase costs as models that do not meet the new technical requirements will no longer qualify for tax exemptions. This could lead to a temporary reduction in available models, but in the long term, it is expected to encourage the market to offer higher-quality products [9]. - Industry experts believe that the new regulations will drive technological upgrades in battery capacity and hybrid systems, enhancing driving experience and safety. Stricter standards are anticipated to promote the introduction of higher-performance models, meeting consumer demands for longer range and lower energy consumption, thus supporting both industrial and consumer upgrades [9].
