How are subsidies for new energy vehicles provided?
2 Answers
New energy vehicle subsidy collection: Both national and local subsidies are advanced by dealers, who then submit the relevant documents of car buyers to government departments for approval and reimbursement. Therefore, consumers only need to pay the price after deducting the dual subsidies when purchasing new energy electric vehicles. After completing the tax payment certificate, the car owner needs to take photos of the four documents—original invoice, vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and tax payment certificate—and send them to the 4S store. There are three forms for private purchase and use of new energy vehicles: 1. Direct purchase: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies. 2. Whole vehicle leasing: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to leasing companies at the price after deducting the subsidies. 3. Battery leasing: The central government provides subsidies to battery leasing companies, which then lease new energy vehicle batteries to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies, while also providing services such as battery maintenance, repair, and replacement.
Last time I bought an electric vehicle, how was the subsidy provided? The dealer handled all the application steps for me after the purchase. I needed to provide the vehicle purchase invoice and a copy of my ID card, which were then submitted to the local government for review. Eligible vehicles, like those with sufficient pure electric range, could receive the subsidy, typically consisting of a portion from the central government and an additional amount from the local government. The entire process was simple and quick, with the subsidy transferred to my bank account within a month or two. Although subsidies are gradually decreasing now, due to ongoing environmental policies, the application requirements have become stricter, such as price caps or the necessity to register the vehicle first. I recommend checking the official government website or downloading a dedicated app for the latest rules before purchasing to avoid unnecessary hassle.
