In 2018, the new energy vehicle index policy was revised again. The question arises: did the number of new energy vehicle indicators increase in 2018? If so, by how much? This article provides a comprehensive overview of the policy updates and the quantity of new energy vehicle indicators issued that year.
**2018 New Energy Vehicle Policy Overview**
On December 15, 2017, Beijing announced the revised "Interim Regulations on the Regulation of the Number of Small Passenger Cars" and the "Notice on the Total Amount and Configuration Ratio of Small Passenger Cars in 2018." These regulations were made public through the Beijing Small Bus Indicators Regulation Management Information System and took effect on January 15, 2018.
The key changes in the Interim Provisions included extending the validity period of existing indicators from six months to one year. Additionally, the rules were updated to prevent individuals who failed to meet scrapping standards from applying for new indicators. Vehicles that had reached the mandatory scrapping age or failed inspections would no longer be eligible for new energy or general vehicle permits.
As part of the broader "Beijing Traffic Management Development Plan during the 13th Five-Year Plan," the total number of passenger car allocation indicators for 2018 was reduced from 150,000 to 100,000. Among these, the new energy vehicle indicator remained unchanged at 60,000, while the general vehicle quota dropped from 90,000 to 40,000.
**Extended Validity Period for Indicators**
One of the major changes introduced in 2018 was the extension of the validity period for vehicle indicators from six months to one year. This change aimed to give applicants more time to plan their car purchases, helping to slow the growth of private vehicles in the city.
This extended validity applied not only to newly issued indicators but also to those obtained before the policy change. All unused indicators were automatically extended by six months. Applicants were advised to log into the Beijing Small Bus Indicators Control Management Information System to print their confirmation notices or visit service windows if needed.
**Updating Indicators in Four Scenarios**
The updated policy also clarified four scenarios under which individuals could apply for updated vehicle indicators:
1. When a vehicle reaches its service life limit.
2. After repairs, the vehicle still fails to meet safety standards.
3. If the vehicle continues to emit pollutants beyond acceptable levels.
4. If the vehicle fails to pass inspection for three consecutive cycles.
These measures ensured that only vehicles meeting environmental and safety requirements could qualify for new indicators.
**New Energy Indicators Remain Stable**
Despite the overall reduction in vehicle quotas, the new energy vehicle indicator remained at 60,000 in 2018. The policy continued to favor individual buyers, with personal new energy vehicle allocations increasing from 85% in 2017 to 90% in 2018. This shift supported the promotion of electric vehicles and helped reduce pollution in the city.
**Challenges for Applicants**
Although the new energy vehicle quota remained stable, many applicants expressed concern about the limited availability. With over 69,000 people waiting for a new energy vehicle permit in 2018, and only 60,000 available, it was estimated that around 9,000 applicants might miss out.
However, as the popularity of new energy vehicles grew, the likelihood of abandoning applications decreased. More people began considering electric cars due to lower fuel costs and stricter regulations on traditional vehicles.
**Conclusion**
The 2018 new energy vehicle policy marked a significant step in Beijing’s efforts to manage traffic congestion and reduce pollution. By limiting general vehicle quotas and maintaining stable new energy vehicle allocations, the city encouraged the adoption of greener transportation options. As the demand for new energy vehicles increased, the competition for available indicators became fiercer, making it increasingly important for applicants to act quickly.
