Charging pile subsidy details may be announced early next year, and the proportion is expected to reach 40%

At present, the National Energy Administration and other departments are taking the lead in implementing the detailed support rules for charging piles in accordance with the spirit of the State Council's "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure". Many people from charging pile companies said that subsidies for the construction of charging infrastructure may be introduced in the future. The subsidy ratio is expected to reach 40%, and the construction of charging stations is expected to be subsidized by 3 million. Industry expectations are that subsidy details are expected to be announced in early 2016.

On November 9, the Shenyang Municipal Government released the "Shenyang New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Implementation Plan (2015-2020)" on its website, which means that Shenyang will vigorously promote new energy vehicles.

The models promoted this time are mainly plug-in hybrid models, and it is encouraged to update obsolete yellow-label vehicles into new energy vehicles. In the future, all new official vehicles will use new energy vehicles, except for special needs. Among the new bus, rental, logistics and sanitation vehicles in Shenyang, the proportion of new energy vehicles will be no less than 30%.

By 2020, Shenyang will complete the promotion target of 10,000 new energy vehicles, and at the same time carry out the construction and transformation of supporting power grids. It is expected to build 120 charging stations and 7,200 charging piles.

The government provides subsidies to encourage citizens to buy

For this promotion of new energy vehicles, Shenyang will take the public service field as a breakthrough, focus on urban buses, rentals, and urban logistics and distribution fields, and also promote it in the fields of car rental, postal services, sanitation, commuting, and private cars.

It is required that the proportion of new energy vehicles among the updated and newly added buses in Shenyang should not be less than 30%, mainly plug-in hybrid (gas-electric hybrid) vehicles. Through encouraging policies, the taxi industry should be guided to use new energy vehicles, and the proportion of new energy vehicles in updated and newly added taxis should not be less than 30%. Updated and newly added official vehicles and vehicles rented for official use will all use new energy vehicles, except for special needs.

At the same time, express delivery, commuter and logistics vehicles will also become the focus of promotion. Freight vehicles that use new energy vehicles will be able to enjoy the appropriate relaxation of city ban restrictions. New energy sanitation vehicles will be included in the annual vehicle procurement plan, and the proportion of new energy vehicles among new and updated sanitation vehicles must also not be less than 30%.

In terms of personal vehicles, in addition to vigorous publicity, the government will also help citizens understand and purchase new energy vehicles through subsidies and the construction of new energy vehicle experience centers. For scrapped yellow-label vehicles, the government will formulate incentive policies to guide the replacement of obsolete yellow-label vehicles into new energy vehicles.

In terms of subsidy policies, the plan stipulates that local subsidy funds for new energy vehicles will be included in local government fiscal budgets. Vehicle procurement will be subsidized at a ratio of 0.7 to 0.9:1 between local and central governments, with the total subsidy not exceeding 60% of the full price of the vehicle. Appropriate rewards will be given to units and individuals that eliminate scrapped yellow-label vehicles early and replace them with new energy vehicles.

Increase charging facilities and provide preferential land prices

After new energy vehicles are widely used, whether the supporting infrastructure is complete will affect the rapid development of new energy and environmental protection work. In this regard, the government will prepare a new energy vehicle charging infrastructure construction plan and a supporting power grid construction and transformation plan in Shenyang. If existing parking lots (spaces) or gas stations are used to build charging infrastructure, the existing land use rights and purposes will remain unchanged. The nature of the land for the new charging station must be determined according to the nature of the land for gas stations, and preferential land prices will be given.

Charging facility operating companies can charge electricity fees and charging service fees from electric vehicle users, and the charging electricity price shall comply with the unified national electricity fee standards. Encourage the use of low-peak power and renewable energy power resources, implement government-guided price management for charging service prices, and encourage social capital to participate in the construction and operation of new energy vehicle charging facilities.

Incorporate the construction of charging infrastructure into the planning approval and design of new public, private, and dedicated parking stations, and the matching rate of charging piles and parking spaces shall not be less than 10%. Make full use of existing resources to plan and build public charging facilities of appropriate scale, and build a certain number of charging terminals in parking lots of public places such as shopping malls, stations (subway entrances), and airports; parking spaces in offices, enterprises, schools and other units must fully consider the needs of employees to purchase new energy vehicles, and follow the principle of moderate advancement to plan and set up dedicated parking spaces for new energy vehicles and equipped with charging terminals.
