New Energy Vehicle Overheating: Capacity Planning Exceeds 20 Million Units 10 Times Sales Planning
Policy to cool cars
Although
 the "catfish effect" is conducive to the active market, the relevant 
state departments have noticed the signs of excess capacity in new 
energy vehicles. The policy has begun to shift, and the space for 
speculators has continued to shrink. The state issued a new subsidy policy for new energy vehicles for 2017-2018, which is generally 20% lower than 2016. In May 2018, the regulatory authorities cancelled the 1882 free vehicle purchase tax models for new energy vehicles.
Increasingly stringent policies have made some speculators unsustainable in the market. In
 September 2016, the Ministry of Finance penalized five “cheat up” new 
energy vehicle companies such as Jinlong Automobile (14.500, -0.55, 
-3.65%) and Shenzhen Wuzhoulong. The
 data shows that in the first half of 2017, the net profit of Jinlong 
Automobile dropped to RMB 38 million, a year-on-year decrease of over 
70%; Shenzhen Wuzhou Dragon's operating revenue was RMB 4,862,200 and 
the loss was RMB 5,552,400.
The
 National Development and Reform Commission recently issued the “Special
 Regulations on the Investment Management of the Automotive Industry 
(Consultation Draft)” to establish a new independent pure electric 
vehicle company (including the production capacity of cross-submersible 
vehicles and commercial vehicle types for the construction of pure 
electric vehicles in the existing automobile manufacturers). The
 provinces where the investment projects are located should meet the 
following four conditions: 1. The proportion of new energy vehicle 
ownership is higher than the national average; 2. The charging 
infrastructure of electric vehicles is relatively complete, and the 
ratio of vehicle piles is higher than the national average; III. New 
energy vehicles The
 cleanup of zombie enterprises and zombie qualifications were all 
completed. IV. The existing investment projects for new-built pure 
electric vehicle enterprises have been completed and the output has 
reached the construction scale.
According
 to Jia Xinguang, an auto analyst, the relevant regulations are 
tantamount to closing the door for those new-build vehicle makers that 
aim at “circling money”. Only those new vehicle manufacturers that are 
pragmatic to build cars can expect to receive production qualifications.
