Minsheng Securities released a research report stating that the policy meets expectations, and the currently available pure electric models basically meet the requirements for purchase tax subsidies; the improvement in the range of plug-in hybrids is expected to enhance the ASP of the domestic passenger car market, while inefficient models will no longer enjoy tax exemptions, forcing car manufacturers to improve the efficiency of their three-electric systems. Shenwan Hongyuan recently released a research report stating that the fourth batch of "trade-in" funds has been allocated, and automobile subsidies are gradually coming to an end; starting next year, the exemption of purchase tax for new energy vehicles will end, to be replaced by a 50% reduction, with each vehicle requiring an additional payment of up to HKD 15,000 in taxes. For consumers purchasing models over HKD 300,000, the cost of buying a car will significantly increase, which may lead to a wave of market rush for purchases as we enter the fourth quarter
