AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/22 Report--

Recently, many Tesla owners reported to the media that they had received a notice from Tesla to make up the payment, informing them that the mileage of the vehicle did not meet the conditions for obtaining state subsidies. According to the notice letter of the supplementary payment exposed, because your company failed to meet the total mileage conditions within the time limit stipulated by the national policy after purchasing Tesla's vehicles, your vehicles could not be settled with state subsidies. According to the contract, the deduction of the subsidy enjoyed in the purchase price needs to be repaid.

In response to this matter: the relevant person in charge of Tesla China responded: Tesla China sent corresponding reminder text messages to these customers many times in advance before issuing the "Notification letter for substandard mileage of New Energy vehicles". The reminder reads: "your vehicle is about to be licensed for two years, but the mileage has not yet reached 20,000 kilometers." In order to avoid causing losses to you, please increase your driving mileage and travel frequency.

In addition, according to the subsidy standard for new energy vehicles, except for private purchases of new energy passenger vehicles, operational special vehicles (including sanitation vehicles), official vehicles of party and government organs, and vehicles in civil aviation airports, the cumulative mileage of other types of new energy vehicles must reach 20,000 kilometers. And these customers who are informed to pay 'national subsidy' enjoy the national subsidies for new energy vehicles when they buy cars are paid in advance by our company. When signing the car purchase contract, the company has also clearly informed the other party and made it clear in the contract. " Only when the mileage of these vehicles reaches 20,000 kilometers within a specified period of time can the state issue subsidies for new energy vehicles to enterprises.

It is understood that Tesla said in the contract signed with these users, "the total price of the vehicle you purchased has been deducted from the new energy subsidy according to this configuration plan, and you agree that the deduction should be regarded as an advance for you." If due to any reason (such as not complying with the subsidy policy, failing to register the vehicle in time, the cumulative operating mileage does not meet the policy requirements, etc.), or due to a change in the subsidy policy (whether before or after you pick up the car), as a result, we will not be able to get the same amount of subsidy deducted from the government when you buy the car, you should make up the difference in any payment as required by us. "

In fact, the mileage requirement for non-private purchases of new energy vehicles has been in place as early as 2017. In order to plug the loophole of "fraudulent compensation", the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on adjusting the financial subsidy policy for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles on December 29, 2016. new energy vehicles purchased by non-private users must have a cumulative mileage of more than 30,000 kilometers to receive state subsidies, which will be implemented on January 1, 2017. As the energy subsidy policy indicates that it takes more than 30,000 kilometers to receive the state subsidy, after 17 years of implementation of the policy, many car companies have also introduced corresponding countermeasures, and many car companies have begun to sign agreements with car buyers. Customers are required to complete the mileage within a specified period of time. If users fail to complete the mileage on time, the time for car companies to receive subsidies will be extended, and car companies will have to charge users with subsidized interest.

In February 2018, this policy was adjusted again, requiring the mileage to be adjusted from 30,000 km to 20,000 km. In addition, there are no operating mileage requirements for private purchases of new energy passenger vehicles, operational special vehicles (including sanitation vehicles), official vehicles of party and government organs, and vehicles in civil aviation airports. The operating mileage requirements for other types of new energy vehicles applying for financial subsidies will be adjusted to 20,000 km. After the vehicle sales are licensed, part of the subsidy funds will be allocated according to the application, and all will be allocated after meeting the operating mileage requirements. The subsidy standards and technical requirements will be implemented in accordance with the year in which the vehicle obtains a driving license. In March 2019, the state multi-department issued a notice clearly pointing out that for vehicles with operating mileage requirements, part of the funds will be allocated in advance after the completion of sales and licensing, and after meeting the mileage requirements, they can apply for liquidation in accordance with the procedures. If the vehicles with operating mileage requirements are sold after the release of the policy, there will be no subsidy for vehicles running less than 20,000 kilometers within 2 years from the date of registration, and the advance funds will be deducted at the time of liquidation.

Although the implementation of this policy can play a certain role in restricting the phenomenon of fraudulent compensation, some people in the industry have also pointed out that although the "20,000 km policy" is to curb "fraudulent compensation", the task of monitoring whether new energy vehicles have been put into operation to complete mileage has been transferred to car companies, which has put some pressure on them. In addition, the advance of new energy subsidies to a certain extent also brings cost and financial pressure to new energy vehicle companies.
