Media Notes: High Oil Prices Succeeding in Industrialization of Electric Vehicles

Whether you are willing to face or not, the cost of domestic vehicles will show a clear upward trend. In addition to the nationwide increase in oil prices, the owners of first-tier cities have complained. The car owners at other levels of the region have also felt that they are “abnegmentable” with regard to high car costs.

On the 6th, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice and decided to increase the price of gasoline and diesel by 500 yuan and 400 yuan per ton respectively from 0:00 on April 7th. The national average 90th gasoline and 0th diesel respectively increased by 0.37 yuan per litre. And 0.34 yuan, then rose "three four hair." "First Financial Daily" quoted the views of relevant industry sources, said that "the increase in oil prices is mainly affected by the soaring international oil prices, but the rate of increase is lower than the international oil price increase, taking into account the cost of business and residents." This view has been multi-party stand by. In the analysis of “the price hike behind refined oil products in China,” the British “Financial Times” wrote an article stating: “More significant than the price increase is the government’s restraint in price adjustment. In the face of inflation threats, Beijing (government ) So far the refined oil price has been kept at a level far below the level of the international crude oil basket as a reference."

The increase in oil prices under “restraint” has clearly exceeded the public’s expectations. Moreover, this is the second time that prices have risen during the year. People’s fears of inflation and worries about continued high prices of oil prices have increased.

“The domestic oil price first entered the '8' era” Xinhua News highlighted in the analysis and report on the 8th that the retail price of 97 gasoline after adjustment in Beijing has reached 8.36 yuan per litre, and the domestic retail price of refined oil has entered the “8” era for the first time. . Another report on the website found that through interviews with some car owners, “Oil prices continue to rise or spawn new modes of automobile consumption”, such as “With rising oil prices, it may lead to more owners willing to use natural gas instead of refined oil. ”

Of course, there are also many people, especially consumers, who are dissatisfied with the current price adjustment mechanism for refined oil products, and calls for their reform have already occurred. Earlier there was information that the end of 2010 will complete the revision of the new refined oil pricing mechanism. The revised content is mainly aimed at "22 4%" of refined oil price adjustment conditions, and the revised target is "a shorter time and a smaller proportion." However, domestic inflationary pressures in November and December of last year caused this information to sink into the ocean. Up to now, the view of optimistic about the reform of the price adjustment mechanism is still seldom seen. Tencent Financial said that Cao Weidong, chief strategist at Lianxun Securities, said that “although it is difficult for management to control domestic inflation, the adjustment mechanism for domestic refined oil prices following the rise in international oil prices has already formed and is expected to take a long time. The mechanism for adjustment of domestic oil prices will not change."

Whether or not the price adjustment mechanism is reformed, global crude oil reserves are constantly being swallowed by huge consumption, and the rising trend of refined oil prices is irreversible. In other words, the expenditure on the use of gasoline and diesel for fuel vehicles will increase year by year or even month by month. The consumer choice era of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles is approaching.

However, when will the phenomenon of two cars driven by different energy on a highway appear?

As a cutting-edge financial information website, Caixin.com's "China abandons the formulation of the 12th Five-Year Plan for the automotive industry" on April 6th, which has caused shock in the industry. The mainstream auto websites have reprinted this explosion news and have recommended it at key positions in the first screen. . According to the article, the responsible officials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission clearly stated this in a phone interview with reporters on the website. “The energy-saving and new-energy vehicle planning will be introduced soon. There is no need to engage in a 12th five-year plan for the automotive industry. “Beihe Group Chairman Xu Heyi also disclosed this information when he attended a forum last month. Competitors, Financial Network, this report seems to have made a more in place interpretation: According to an official quoted by the report, this plan is not really abandoned, but replaced by the upcoming "energy-saving and new energy vehicles Industrial Development Planning (2011-2020). Regardless of whose description is more accurate, there is a common signal that new energy vehicles will receive the central government's focus during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, and the commercialization of electric vehicles will also be officially pushed to the front of the market.

Recently, a notice issued by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the four ministries and commissions of the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the Notice on Launching Private Subsidy Pilots for Subsidies for New Energy Vehicles. It was determined that it will be held in Shanghai, Changchun, and Shenzhen since June 1. Five cities, such as Hangzhou and Hefei, officially launched their private subsidies for the purchase of new energy vehicles.

However, before the maturity of technology mastery, the construction progress of supporting facilities, especially if the issue of high product prices has not been fully recognized by consumers, the difficulty in promoting new energy vehicles is beyond the imagination.

According to a report published by the “First Financial Daily” on the 7th, eight employees who worked in “Shanghai International Automobile City” in Anting Town, Jiading, Shanghai, became the first batch of private electric car owners in Shanghai and enjoyed RMB 100,000. The purchase subsidies for pure electric vehicles (60,000 from state subsidies and 40,000 subsidies from the Shanghai municipal government). However, because of the special identity of the eight car owners, the "bottleneck" of Shanghai's promotion of new energy vehicles is looming. According to the report, Shanghai International Automobile City (Group) Co., Ltd. has already installed two charging piles in Anting. Shanghai City also has such charging equipment for electric vehicles. In addition to supporting facilities, the company’s deputy manager of the new energy vehicle division, Ding Xiaohua, believes that “(high taxes) have increased the resistance of the promotion.” According to the report, such as a 220,000 pure electric vehicle, After the local double subsidy in Shanghai can save 100,000 yuan in cost, but the relevant taxes and fees are still calculated in accordance with the price of 220,000 yuan.

According to statistics, the goal of the Shanghai municipal government is to enable new energy vehicles to achieve an industrial scale of 100,000 units and a production value of 30 billion yuan by 2012, and strive to form a domestically leading independent industrial system and industrial cluster with international competitiveness. However, this goal is under the oppression of a series of unsolved problems such as “the key components are not strong, the industrialization process is slow, the coordination of vehicles and parts is not enough, the social supporting system has not yet been established, and the pertinent incentive policies are not clear”. The realization process is doomed. However, it is worth looking forward to!
