BYD(SZ:002594) Mei Ri Jing Ji Xin Wen·2025-10-15 02:50Core Viewpoint - The new technical requirements for electric vehicles, as outlined in the recent announcement by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, are expected to lead to a reduction in the purchase tax for new energy vehicles by half starting next year, regardless of whether vehicles meet the new standards [1][10]. Group 1: New Technical Requirements - The announcement introduces updated national standards for energy consumption for pure electric passenger vehicles and raises the pure electric range requirement for plug-in hybrid vehicles from 43 km to 100 km [1][7]. - The new standards aim to phase out outdated products and encourage the development of higher-performance models, enhancing safety and competitiveness while promoting green and low-carbon development [1][11]. Group 2: Market Response - Sales personnel from various companies, including BYD and NIO, report that their new products generally meet the new national standards for energy consumption [2][6]. - Data from AutoHome indicates that the NIO ET5 has a weight of 2185 kg and an energy consumption of 14.1 kWh/100 km, which complies with the new standards [2]. Group 3: Implications for Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles - Many mainstream plug-in hybrid vehicles currently exceed the new 100 km pure electric range requirement, such as the AITO M5 with a range of 230 km and BYD Tang DM-i with 175 km [7]. - However, some existing models do not meet the new standards, which may lead to promotional clearance sales by manufacturers as the deadline approaches [7][8]. Group 4: Future Tax Implications - Starting January 1, 2026, new energy vehicles will be subject to a reduced purchase tax rate of 5%, down from the current 10%, as part of the new policy [10]. - Vehicles that do not meet the technical requirements may face full tax rates, while those that comply will benefit from the reduced rate [10].
