China NEV Market

China will still offer NEV purchase tax breaks from 2024 to 2027, but the intensity will diminish in steps.

China's State Council Information Office will hold a briefing at 10 am Beijing time on June 21 on promoting the development of the NEV industry.

Shanghai, home to Tesla's China factory and Nio's global headquarters, has seen NEV penetration reach about 50 percent.

Three Chinese government departments announced in a joint statement that NEVs purchased between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 will be exempt from purchase taxes.

In June and July, Nio stores saw significant increases in traffic and orders, making it difficult to meet delivery demand, according to an executive at the EV maker.

China's NEV sales in June exceeded expectations and hit a record high, but recently the market began to worry about weakening demand in the first two weeks of July.

China needs to further optimize NEV consumption to provide support for stable auto consumption and economic growth, according to an article in Economic Daily.

China is the fastest-growing market for EVs, and penetration here is bound to be much higher than in overseas markets, the analyst said.

Of these, 8.1 million are pure electric vehicles, accounting for 80.93 percent of the total number of NEVs.

China's auto industry as a whole still reported lower sales in May compared to a year ago, despite an improvement from April.
