Group 1: New Technical Requirements - The announcement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments introduces updated technical standards for electric vehicles, including stricter energy consumption limits for pure electric vehicles and an increase in the pure electric range requirement for plug-in hybrid vehicles from 43 km to 100 km [1][9]. - The new standards aim to phase out outdated products and encourage the development of higher-performance models that meet consumer demands for longer range and lower energy consumption, thereby promoting both industry and consumer upgrades [1][9]. Group 2: Market Response - Sales personnel from various companies, including BYD and NIO, have indicated that their current products meet the new national standards for energy consumption, suggesting minimal impact on their sales [2][6]. - The majority of new products launched by major manufacturers such as GAC, SAIC, and BAIC are compliant with the new technical standards, indicating a readiness within the industry to adapt to these changes [7][9]. Group 3: Purchase Tax Implications - Starting January 1, 2026, the purchase tax for new energy vehicles will be halved from the current rate of 10% to 5%, which is expected to increase the affordability of these vehicles for consumers [11][13]. - Vehicles that do not meet the new technical requirements will not be eligible for the tax reduction, potentially leading to a clearance sale for non-compliant models by the end of the year [9][14]. Group 4: Future Trends - The industry is likely to see a shift towards larger battery capacities in plug-in hybrid vehicles, as manufacturers adapt to the new requirements and consumer preferences for longer electric ranges [10][14]. - Experts suggest that the introduction of these new technical standards is a precursor to the eventual phasing out of the purchase tax exemption for new energy vehicles, indicating a significant shift in policy direction [14].
