· Shanghai used car license soared to 120,000

At the moment when the bidding rate of Shanghai private car licenses in June was hit by a new low and the price of used car licenses soared to 120,000 yuan, Shanghai’s “free license” for new energy vehicles was not enough. The China Youth Daily reporter recently learned from the Shanghai Municipal Government press conference that from January to June this year, only 1,436 new energy vehicle licenses were issued, and only 581 free licenses were issued last year, including private purchases. Only 280 free licenses were issued for cars. This figure is still far from the free Shanghai Stock Exchange quota for the first batch of 20,000 new energy vehicles announced by Shanghai at the end of 2012.
The reporter noted that since January this year, the bidding rate for private car license auctions in Shanghai has dropped month by month. Last month, 135,677 people bid for 7,400 private car licenses, and the winning rate was only 5.45%. Due to the “constant price limit” auction policy adopted in 2014, the current auction price of private car licenses in Shanghai has been stable at around 75,000 yuan. But with this policy comes a surge in the number of people who are taking the cards. Due to the sudden drop in the bidding rate, the price of second-hand license plates in Shanghai has soared to around 120,000 yuan.
In the case of private car signing "hard and expensive", a free "Shanghai card" should become a fragrant. At the end of 2012, when Shanghai just introduced a new free-use policy for new energy vehicles, this policy was once praised by the media as “the strongest in history”. However, to this day, a "Shanghai brand" worth at least 70,000 yuan has not evoked the enthusiasm of Shanghai residents to purchase new energy vehicles.
In addition to the "free Shanghai card", the purchase of a new energy vehicle can also enjoy subsidies at the central and Shanghai levels. Ma Jing, deputy director of the Shanghai Economic and Information Committee, calculated that buying a plug-in hybrid car of a certain brand in Shanghai can enjoy a total subsidy of 66,000 yuan. “If you are in Minhang District, Shanghai, at the district level. There are also another 20,000 yuan subsidy."
Ma Jing believes that the “best environment” for the promotion of new energy vehicles is currently the “highest subsidy season”. Earlier, the State Council also announced that it will waive the purchase tax on three new energy vehicles from September 1 this year. However, even if subsidies are so “tempting”, few individuals take the initiative to buy new energy vehicles.
In this regard, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Communications Secretary-General Gao Wei said that relying solely on the "free Shanghai card" can not solve the promotion problem of new energy vehicles. "There is still a key issue, that is, charging piles."
The reporter learned that hybrid vehicles are not within the scope of the “free Shanghai” policy and are not included in the scope of new energy vehicles. Therefore, to buy a pure electric car, the convenience of "charging" is the most direct factor that plagues consumers.
The construction of “charging pile” will become a major focus for the promotion and application of the next round of new energy vehicles in Shanghai. According to the “Shanghai New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Implementation Plan (2013-2015)” released today, by 2015, Shanghai will sell 13,000 new energy vehicles and build 6000 new types of charging piles. But as of now, Shanghai has only about 1,800 charging posts and 177 charging points.
In response to a question from the China Youth Daily reporter, Gao Wei said that the biggest difficulty in the current construction of charging piles lies in “entering the community”. “The residential property rights are complex and it is difficult to coordinate with property companies and owners.” It is reported that in the past, during the construction of charging piles, some property companies and owners' committees did not know enough about the situation of new energy vehicles, and there were doubts or other additional requirements for charging piles, resulting in low efficiency. Gao Wei revealed that in the future, Shanghai may require all new residential areas to reserve the charging pile position according to 10% of the number of passengers. The parking lot in public places will also be equipped with charging piles according to similar requirements. “These are not difficult, it is difficult to charge. Piles enter the built community."
A welcome phenomenon is that in the past June, 580 new energy vehicles in Shanghai have achieved “free Shanghai”, and this figure was only 105 in January this year. Every month, more people are buying new energy vehicles. This situation is much better than last year.
