工业和信息化部、国家发展改革委、市场监管总局、国家能源局于1月7日联合召开动力和储能电池行业座谈会，研究部署进一 步规范产业竞争秩序工作，本次会议召集了16家重点企业参会，涵盖13家动力电池与储能电池企业及3家系统集成商。与此同 时，乘联分会相关人士崔东树近日发文展望2026年年初国内新能源锂电池需求，指出需求将环比4季度大幅下降，电池生产企业 或采取减产休假方式应对这一波动。 具体来看，需求下滑的驱动因素主要包括五大方面。其一，2026年初新能源乘用车受车购税政策调整影响显著。据悉，2026年 起新能源汽车购置税从免征改为减半征收，单辆新能源乘用车减税额上限从3万元收紧至1.5万元，且准入技术标准大幅加严，不 符合新技术要求的车型无法享受减免，这将导致消费者购车成本变化，预计年初新能源乘用车销量环比4季度下降至少30%，直 接减少对新能源锂电池的需求。其二，新能源商用车在2025年年末完成抢补贴和抢免税冲刺后，年初需求必然出现环比大幅下 降，进而影响锂电池需求规模。其三，尽管2026年初新能源乘用车出口表现较好，但这一增长对独立电池供应商的电池需求拉 动作用有限。其四，美国储能需求对国内电池出口缺乏明显拉动 ...
