Premier li keqiang pointed out in the government work report: "we will resolutely fight to ensure blue skies. It is everyone's responsibility to tackle smog. With the unremitting efforts of the whole society, the blue sky will surely increase year by year." It immediately triggered a heated debate, reflecting the people's urgent desire to speed up the improvement of the ecological environment, especially the air quality.
The development of new energy vehicles is an important means to promote China's industrial transformation and upgrading, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and control air pollution. With the strong support from the central government and the joint efforts of all parties, China's new energy vehicle industry has grown from nothing to a new green economic growth point.
Since 2009, the central government has given strong support to the promotion of new energy vehicles.
From 2009 to 2012, we carried out a pilot project of "one thousand vehicles in ten cities", encouraging and guiding pilot cities to purchase and use new energy vehicles in public transport, sanitation, rental and other areas through financial subsidies.

From 2013 to 2015, the scope of implementation was expanded from some cities to the whole country.
▼
From 2016 to 2020, in accordance with the guidelines of The General Office of the State Council on accelerating the promotion and application of new energy vehicles and other documents, continue to provide financial support for the promotion of new energy vehicles, and further raise the subsidy threshold and lower the subsidy standard, reflecting the policy orientation of supporting the excellent and strengthening the strong.
At present, the central finance has gradually established a systematic policy system. The design of fiscal policy focuses on expanding the scale of market sales, improving the quality of the development of the whole industry, and promoting the development of enterprises' research and development capabilities, technical level and product quality.
Consumer side: adopt financial subsidies to support consumers to buy and use new energy vehicles.
Operation side: to promote the new energy bus operation to give quota subsidies.
In terms of infrastructure, cities with a large amount of promotion and better charging infrastructure construction will be rewarded and encouraged to accelerate the improvement of charging infrastructure network.
R&d: strongly support the r&d and industrialization of new energy vehicle models, power batteries and other key components.
Other aspects: the central government has also continuously increased support for the new-energy vehicle industry in taxation, construction of standards and regulations, advanced manufacturing and other aspects.
Overall, China's new energy vehicle development momentum is good.
Industrial technology level has been greatly improved -- according to the relevant association, the core technical index of power battery "individual energy density" has reached 220 watt-hour/kg, 1.8 times higher than 2012, the production cost has been reduced by 60%, and the key technical indexes such as vehicle mileage, energy consumption level, safety and stability have been significantly improved.
Some of the leading enterprises are emerging -- from the original joint ventures and imported parts, to now the independent brands are dominant. In 2016, byd, geely and baic entered the top 10 global new-energy passenger car sales, and new-energy buses were sold to more than 30 countries and 160 cities around the world. Ningde times, jingjin electric and other key components companies have become global well-known suppliers.
The number of promotion increased significantly -- the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China increased from less than 500 before 2009 to 500,000 in 2016, making China the world's largest producer and seller of new energy vehicles for two consecutive years. Consumers' recognition of new energy vehicles continues to rise.
Accelerating the construction of charging facilities -- the enthusiasm of local governments and social capital has been effectively mobilized. Many cities have incorporated the land used for charging facilities into their urban development plans and land use plans, and made clear the proportion of charging piles.
The Ministry of Finance, together with other relevant departments, has revised and improved the subsidy policies and regulatory measures in response to the problem of fraudulent subsidies for new energy vehicles.
In keeping the overall stability under the premise of subsidy policy, improve the enterprise and product technical threshold, appropriate to reduce some models of subsidies standards, further highlight the best supported by the policy guidance, promote the enterprise constantly improve the technical level, form a pattern of evolution of market competition, and perfect the supervision mechanism, strict supervision and inspection, to ensure the sustained and healthy development of industry.
