The implementation of new government policies has led to a surge in subsidies for electric vehicle (EV) purchases. As of April 19, 2025, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology indicates that the total number of EV subsidy applications in the country has exceeded 2.232 million vehicles. This continuous effectiveness of the new policy has driven vehicle manufacturers to innovate and compete in the market.
In 2024, it is projected that the country will see a staggering 680,000 new EVs, marking a historic peak. In the first two months of this year, the number of registered EVs has increased by 50.1% compared to the previous year, with February showing an extraordinary growth of 188.2%. The market for electric vehicles continues to thrive, supported by government policies and operational frameworks.
Starting in 2024, the Shanghai Municipal Government has initiated a variety of activities to promote EV subsidies, particularly focusing on new energy vehicles. This year, the government has introduced additional measures to enhance the subsidy scope, aiming to boost the vehicle market further.
By the second half of 2024, Shanghai intends to increase the total number of electric vehicles in the market, with estimates suggesting a subsidy application total exceeding 1.5 million vehicles. The city plans to bolster support for electric cars through expanded subsidy policies.
On April 3, 2024, the Shanghai Municipal Government released a statement detailing the ongoing efforts to enhance EV subsidies. The focus will be on promoting new energy vehicles, with specific emphasis on measures that will encourage the transition to electric mobility.
In terms of financial support, the government has committed to substantial funding aimed at incentivizing electric vehicle purchases. It is expected that the subsidies will not only support the EV market but also contribute to the overall economic growth of the region.
The policies are designed to facilitate the acquisition of electric vehicles, including significant subsidies for buyers of new energy vehicles. This initiative aims to make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers and to encourage a broader adoption of green technologies.
In 2024, the government plans to further refine the subsidy criteria, allowing for greater flexibility and support for electric vehicle buyers. This includes incentives for both personal and commercial use, fostering a more robust purchasing environment.
As the market evolves, the Shanghai Municipal Government will continue to adapt its strategies and policies to ensure a sustainable and thriving electric vehicle ecosystem. These efforts are vital to achieving the city’s long-term goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy.
