The "Notice" shows that Chongqing has received a special fund of 196 million yuan for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles.

According to the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Finance, this part of the funds is used as a subsidy for the car price of the company, subsidizing 452 new energy vehicles produced and sold by three automobile companies from January to September 2013 in Chongqing.

Tang Lijin, assistant to general manager of Hengtong Automotive New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., stated that the central government's support for new energy vehicles will become more intensive later. The subsidy will be issued in the third quarter and will be issued once in the next quarter. Since 2014, the subsidies for new energy vehicles given by the state will increase again in 2013 compared to the 2013 version. Among them, new energy vehicles with a mileage of more than 50 kilometers have a subsidy of 35,000 yuan, subsidies for mileage of 80 to 150 kilometers are 50,000 yuan, and subsidies for vehicles with a mileage of more than 250 kilometers are 60,000 yuan.

For example, a pure electric vehicle with a mileage of 150-250 kilometers was used in Lifan. The unit price of this car was 270,000 yuan in the initial stage of the listing. By 2013, the company’s product The cost was controlled and the selling price fell to 239,800 yuan. And this price can buy an entry-level B-class traditional fuel consumption car. However, once national and local subsidies are provided, the price of new energy vehicles may drop below 150,000 yuan.
