All the other brands have been stopped selling, and only when the new policies are introduced can the sale be restarted," said a new energy vehicle sales company in Shanghai. Shanghai new energy vehicle market is anxiously waiting for the introduction of new policy.
As for those new policies to which people are looking forward, Shanghai Municipal Economy and Information Commission said, the notice about encouraging people to purchase and to use new energy vehicles in 2017 continues to be effective. However, at present, Shanghai Municipal Economy and Information Commission is gathering related departments to speed up the study on adjustment program for encouraging new energy vehicles.
New round of national subsidy policy of new energy vehicles has been implemented since January 1st. Compared to last year, not only the amount of subsidy falls by 20%, it also provides that the local financial subsidy shall not exceed 50% of the national subsidy. Now the local new policy in Shanghai has not been introduced yet.
