According to news from Shanghai Government News Press on 15th July, Shanghai has already drawn up the plan for promoting new energy buses, which aims at introducing 13 thousand new energy buses. Among them, the non-native brands should be higher than 30%, the ratio of the new energy buses among the newly added or replaced vehicles for public transport, public affairs, sanitation, logistics should be higher than 30%, and around 6,000 various charging posts will be installed.
From January to June this year, there are 1,436 registered free license plates for passenger vehicles. Although the license plates have not been fully used, Shanghai will allocate 20 thousands license plates to them for free to the year of 2015 to encourage the development of new energy buses. There will be around 2,000 new charging posts, which are mainly located in places such as Jiading Motor City. Comparatively speaking, there are not so many charging posts tailored for communities and public areas.
There will be 40 thousand yuan subsidies for pure electric buses, and 30 thousand yuan subsidies for plug-in hybrid buses in Shanghai. According to the subsidy policy of this year, Roewe 500 plug-in hybrid bus, for example, will get a total subsidy amounting up to 63 thousand yuan. In some districts such as Minxing, there will be another 20 thousand subsidies. From this September, the new energy bus will be exempted from the purchase tax.
