Beijing cancels new Energy vehicle catalogue: Public charging pile will be subsidized

In order to eliminate the "mileage anxiety" of Beijing residents, authorities in Beijing are currently mapping all the charge piles.

The controversial catalogue of Beijing's new energy vehicles has been canceled. January 24, the director of the new Energy and Materials Department of Beijing Science and Technology Commission HUECENSU in the "2014 Global New Energy Vehicle conference" revealed that "in accordance with the central requirements of Beijing's access mode is also changing, the current major record-making system." This means that new energy vehicles, as long as the record, will be able to enter the Beijing market sales, the entry cycle is greatly shortened.

The implementation of vehicle models for the new energy vehicles to enter the market is the most basic requirements, the current access to the Ministry of Industry Directory Bulletin and ready to be officially sold in the market new energy models can be successfully record. "In the future, the Beijing municipal government will strengthen the supervision of the matter and afterwards, in addition to the enterprise itself can sell, we will also adopt more publicity methods to let consumers know where to buy cars, car performance." Huecensu said new energy vehicles, including Chery, Jianghuai, Dongfeng Nissan and other companies, could be sold in Beijing.

But that does not mean Beijing has extended a welcome hand to plug-in hybrid models. According to the reporter understand, although the directory has been canceled, but plug-in hybrid in Beijing still cannot enjoy subsidies, and can not participate in the new Energy vehicle lottery car, so Beijing's access policy changes, may not let the foreign new energy vehicles excited abnormal.

Plug-and-move is still rejected.

Revoking the catalogue is a painful choice for Beijing. "Because of the concern that the plug-in mix is technically easy to fake, Beijing has deliberately set up a directory, refusing to include it." Chen, director of the Electric Vehicle branch of China Automotive Engineering Society, who was previously a consultant to the Beijing municipal government, told reporters that this approach has made Beijing's new Energy vehicle Promotion Office a subject of public pressure.

The Executive vice president and secretary general of the Dongyan the first to stand out, criticizing Beijing's catalogue practice does not meet the State Council's requirements. Subsequently, the Ministry of Industry-related leaders on several occasions, to clean up the local protection policy, especially to cancel the new Energy vehicle local directory. This makes Beijing's new energy vehicle catalogue, after the second batch of announcements, there will be no further.

And the comparison of new energy car sales over the past year may be the last weight that Beijing has given up. According to Beijing New Energy Vehicle Development Center Director Ming revealed that 2014 Beijing to promote 8,050 new energy vehicles, the cumulative promotion of 13,000 vehicles, this figure although more than 2008 to 2013 total, but the goal still has a big gap. Last year, Beijing's new energy vehicle sales target is 20,000 vehicles.

In contrast, Shanghai, which has adopted a more accommodative approach to new-energy vehicles, has made notable gains last year. According to public information, 2014 Shanghai to achieve the new energy vehicle sales of 11,000 vehicles, of which more than 70% for private purchase, in the national provinces and cities in the new Energy vehicle sales ranked first, one fell into the national new energy vehicle market size of the largest area.

Shanghai's policy compared with Beijing, the biggest difference is that as long as the new energy vehicles into the Ministry of Industry list, access to the Shanghai market will be "free Shanghai Card", plug-in hybrid car is no exception. This approach makes BYD plug-in hybrid Model Qin is still in short supply in Shanghai, and BMW as the representative of the multinational car companies, in January this year will be the domestic plug-in hybrid BMW 530LE on the Shanghai starting.

But after abandoning the catalogue of Beijing, now to plug-in hybrid models still choose to refuse. According to the reporter understand, the current plug-in hybrid sedan in Beijing, in addition to not be able to get local subsidies, nor allowed to participate in the new energy car lottery, which means that the dilemma of plug-in hybrid in Beijing has not been changed by the cancellation of the catalogue.

Widely built charge pile to raise sales

In fact, Beijing does not seem to want to use plug-in power to open up new-energy vehicles, and their approach is to boost the selling points of pure electric cars by popularizing charging piles.

It is understood that last year, Beijing launched the 6 new Energy vehicle Shaking index, there are 5 period of the quota has not been used up, especially the sixth period unclaimed indicators reached 2,129, more than the current period of application through the number of audits, and the number of cards is less than the number of lottery numbers of one-tenth.

Beijing believes that the most important reason for the low proportion of pure electric vehicles is the "mileage anxiety" of pure electric vehicles. Many people are worried about the endurance of electric vehicles, the charge of the pile is not enough to run their own car not far. The problem of charging piles, which has plagued me for a long time, has not seen any signs of abating.

"When more than 50% of people buy cars, they can not solve the installation location of the charging pile, in this case, the people themselves to solve the installation of charging piles and then buy a car this road may be a lot of people can not get through, at this time can be built by public charging pile way, so that consumers can travel in his convenient peripheral solution charging problem? "Ming's idea will be the focus of this year's promotion of pure electric vehicles in Beijing," he said.

At the beginning of the new Year, Beijing 500 public charging pile construction all started, plus already built more than 400 charge piles, five rings within the "5 km RADIUS charging network" goal, will be completed in the Spring Festival before the arrival. This is just the prelude to a massive expansion of public-charging piles in Beijing.

It is understood that this year Beijing will be in Beijing-Kazakhstan, Jingkai and other 7 highways to establish public charging piles. The newly-built charging pile is located in the service area of the expressway in Beijing, there are 14 places, which are mainly for fast charging. Ming revealed that, in addition to public charging piles, Beijing is also studying the promotion of wireless charging technology, so that pure electric vehicles do not have to plug the electricity, go there, as long as the direction of the car parked in accordance with an indication, you can easily recharge. The model is now being considered for trial on the bus.

However, there are many problems in the construction of public charging pile, such as how to make the layout reasonable, how the government subsidies can mobilize the enthusiasm of social capital and so on. "If not subsidized, the charging fee will be converted into electricity charge, operators will not be motivated." Ming revealed that in order to quickly promote the construction of public charging pile, the Beijing Development and Reform Commission will grant 30% subsidy to the construction cost.

In addition, in accordance with the National Development and Reform Commission issued by the "electric car electricity price policy related matters of the notice", Beijing is also trying to collect charges for charging services, to attract social capital to join the charging pile operation. January 19, by social capital to participate in the construction and operation of the domestic largest electric vehicle public rechargeable pile group, officially in Beijing, China trade circle business outside. It was the first project in Beijing to promote the operation of public charging piles in charge of charging service fees.

Gaobong, deputy director of Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that Beijing is currently charging standards for service charges to study, charging station operators can be independent pricing, but in the early days of operation, in order to stabilize the market, the Government will take the possibility of market guidance. Gaobong said that 2015 will be a large number of social capital to participate in the construction of public charging piles, which will be to some extent to facilitate the owners of new energy vehicles to charge.

In order to eliminate the "mileage anxiety" of Beijing residents, Beijing authorities are currently mapping all the charge piles. Huecensu revealed that in the period from February 2 to February 6, the Beijing Science and Technology Commission will be two times in conjunction with all the Beijing car companies to do the actual charging experience, to disseminate the position of the charging pile. The new version of the Beijing map will be printed on the position of the charging pile special marking.
