New energy vehicle rural promotion campaign launched, ten companies offer discounts to third-tier and fourth-tier cities and below, with the highest discount of 8,000 yuan

On July 15, 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Carrying out New Energy Vehicle Going to the Countryside Activities", stating that in order to enhance the travel happiness of residents in third- and fourth-tier cities and below, it will cooperate with automobile companies from July to December 2020 to hold new energy vehicle going to the countryside activities.

In terms of details, a total of ten new energy vehicle companies including BAIC New Energy, BYD, and Great Wall participated in the event. Specific models include BAIC New Energy EC3, Great Wall Ora R1, Chery EQ1 and other products. A major feature of these products is that the comprehensive selling price is around 100,000 yuan. This price is probably what residents in third- and fourth-tier cities and below expect for automobile products.

It is worth noting that as early as 2009, my country held a "car going to the countryside" campaign, which ultimately led to a year-on-year increase of 46.15% in my country's car sales in 2009.

Affected by the epidemic, my country's new energy vehicle sales in June 2020 were 104,000 units, down 33.1% year-on-year. This new energy "car going to the countryside" campaign undoubtedly has the dual purpose of boosting new energy vehicle sales and helping new energy vehicle companies overcome difficulties.
