A press conference by the State Council Information Office took place as scheduled on January 27, 2015 Tuesday at 10 a.m., where Mao Weiming, deputy minister of Industry and Information Technology, Zhang Feng, chief engineer of the Ministry, and Zheng Lixin, director of Operations, Monitoring, and Coordination Division, were invited to present the state of industry and communications in 2014 and answer the questions from the media. According to them, the new energy vehicle sector has seen rapid development in 2014, as evidenced by the total output of 83,900 new energy vehicles. To promote the development of new energy vehicles, great progress has been made in the building of charging piles and stations. So far, 723 charging stations and 28,000 charging piles have been built. With new energy vehicle development policies implemented, the building of charging piles and stations will be sped up.
The specific answers are as follows:
Zheng Lixin:
Now let me take the question from our media friend about new energy vehicles. The central government and local governments of various levels have attached importance to the development of new energy vehicles. A lot of efforts have been made to solve the problems with the development of new energy vehicles. 2014 saw rapid development in new energy vehicles, when 83,900 new energy vehicles were produced. We have also made great progress in the development of charging piles and stations by building 723 charging stations and 28,000 charging piles. With new energy vehicle development policies implemented, the building of charging piles and stations will be sped up. Meanwhile, to drive the healthy development of new energy vehicles, the state has also adopted some support policies. As you know, new energy vehicles are free of purchase tax, beginning as of September 1, 2014. From September to December, close to 40,000 owners of new energy vehicles have benefited from this policy. With the jointed efforts in society, the industry is gaining momentum.
Zheng Lixin:
Now let me answer the question from our media friend about the rules for new energy vehicle market access. As far as I know, such rules consider the actual situation and future development requirements of the whole automotive industry, especially the new energy vehicle sector. As for whether such rules will be perfected, it is my understanding that we will keep on perfecting the policy with the development of our cause, which will be very important to the development of the new energy vehicle sector.
