There are only two months left in the transition period. How is the over-standard electric vehicle handled?
In the past week, reporters from the Beijing News visited a number of electric vehicle sales outlets and waste battery recycling companies in Beijing. Many citizens are already disposing of their own ultra-standard electric vehicles. Among them, the "old-for-new" approach is the most popular. Depending on the condition of the car and the type of battery, each used car can be deducted from three hundred yuan to more than one thousand yuan for the purchase of the car.
According to industry analysts, at present, about 4,200 ultra-standard electric vehicles are replaced and updated every day.
The reporter conducted a sample survey on the use of electric vehicles by Beijing residents in the form of online questionnaires, and a total of 100 valid questionnaires were collected.
The survey shows that nearly 40% of the respondents have not yet disposed of their over-standard electric vehicles.
●Current situation
Approximately 4,200 ultra-standard electric vehicles are replaced and updated every day
In recent times, the sales volume of many electric vehicle sales outlets in Beijing has doubled from the beginning of the year, and some stores can sell more than a dozen vehicles a day; The scene of the new car on the license plate reappeared, and the waiting time at some stations exceeded three hours.
After the traffic control department assigns additional staff, it still needs to work overtime every night.
The reporter learned that the above scenario was mainly due to the "Beijing Municipal Non-motorized Vehicle Management Regulations" officially implemented on November 1, 2018, which clearly stipulates the implementation of a product catalog system for electric vehicles that meet national standards.
Exceeding standard electric vehicles not in the catalogue must apply for a temporary license, and a three-year transition period is set.
After the transition period expires, the above-mentioned over-standard vehicles will be prohibited from driving on the road. Violators will be detained by the traffic control department and the driver will be fined 1,000 yuan.
Today, there are only two months left in the three-year transition period, and many people are seizing the time to replace their over-standard electric vehicles and go through the registration business.
According to official data, as of April 30, 2019, Beijing has issued a total of 2.14 million temporary licenses for electric vehicles until the final application time for temporary identification of excessive electric vehicles.
According to authoritative statistics, of the 2.14 million ultra-standard electric vehicles, less than 100,000 are used by people in the fields of food delivery, express delivery, and real estate intermediary, and more are used by ordinary citizens.
The reporter learned from relevant departments that the Municipal Housing and Urban-rural Construction Committee, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce and other units are urging related enterprises and employees to replace vehicles in a timely manner, while the progress of ordinary citizens' vehicles is relatively slow.
According to industry insiders in the bicycle and electric bicycle industry in Beijing, at present, about 4,200 ultra-standard electric bicycles are replaced and updated every day.
●Visit
The "store discounts and trade-in" approach is most favored by consumers
At present, there are still a large number of "yellow card" over-standard electric vehicles driving in the streets and lanes of Beijing.
At 14 o'clock on August 25th, at the Baiziwan store of Haro electric car, the staff were busy posting new event promotion banners.
At present, the purchase of a Haro electric car can deduct up to 1,000 yuan for the used car.
"During this time, more than half of the customers came to consult the trade-in." The shop owner, Ms. Tu, said that business has been very good recently, with at least five or six cars being sold every day, and sometimes even a dozen cars.
The reporter visited the sales outlets of electric vehicle brands such as Mavericks, Green Energy, Yadi, Emma, etc., and found that almost every sales outlet carried out the "replacement of old-for-new" activities for over-standard vehicles, and the recycling price ranged from 300 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan. , Will be evaluated based on the actual situation of the vehicle, the recycling price of lead-acid battery models is higher than that of lithium battery models.
Shi Xuezhu, the person in charge of Harbin Electric Vehicles in Beijing and Tianjin, told reporters that during the recent period, the sales of stores have been stable, and there has been a substantial increase. Now that the stock is sufficient, the supply chain is also required to be prepared to avoid shortages. .
However, he expects that the market will show a relatively tense situation in mid-to-late October, and he advises consumers to prepare early.
Recently, the reporter also launched an online questionnaire. Among the 100 respondents who have over-standard electric vehicles, only more than 30% of citizens have dealt with their own over-standard electric vehicles.
In addition, 30% of the interviewees held a wait-and-see attitude, and 40% of the interviewees had a preliminary plan.
Among the disposal methods, the "store discounts and trade-in" approach is most favored by consumers.
There are differences in the subsidy standards, and some businesses are playing the industry rules.
However, in the face of the seemingly balanced "old-for-new" policy, it seems that some businesses are still playing the edge of industry rules.
Many electric car sales outlets located in Shilihe, Guangqumen and other areas, with a 72v lead-acid battery exceeding the standard electric car need to "trade in" for inquiries.
However, the discount prices quoted by merchants are different, the highest can reach 1,200 yuan, and the lowest is only 400 yuan.
Why is the discount price gap so large?
A store manager of an electric car sales store revealed to reporters the reason, “In fact, this is the wool coming out of the sheep. In order to attract consumers, some stores deliberately stated that the deductible price was high, and then made a false report. The higher the price of a new car, at this time consumers often spend more money and feel that they are taking advantage." He said that many electric vehicles on the market currently have a low degree of recognition. Although some models are similar in appearance, they have completely different internal configurations. Consumers It is also difficult to find its official selling price online.
As a result, individual operators use information asymmetry to "routine" consumers.
Although it is not illegal, it disturbs the order of the industry, and it is a sidekick of industry rules.
"Big brands will require all distributors to ship at a uniform price, otherwise they will be fined. But for some small brands, the requirements are not so strict." He suggested that the public must shop around when buying. Ask for the price.
●Problem
There are fewer ways to recycle batteries. Improper distribution channels may cause safety hazards
Battery recycling is the most important part of the elimination of excessive electric vehicles.
How to dispose of these used batteries reasonably?
How to avoid environmental hazards caused by littering?
During the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress this year, Liu Feng, a representative of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress, brought a suggestion on "speeding up the handling of licensed electric vehicles."
He believes that a recycling mechanism should be established as soon as possible to avoid environmental pollution, and methods such as trade-in, repurchase at a discount, and retirement subsidies can be adopted to protect the rights of citizens.
Up to now, he is most concerned about the flow of used batteries and how to avoid environmental pollution.
In the “Work Plan for Recycling and Disposal of Elimination of Excessive Electric Bicycles” announced on July 26, Beijing proposed that the district governments should strengthen overall planning and coordination, and organize all grassroots units in their jurisdictions to carry out the recycling of eliminated vehicles according to requirements and standards, with a focus on recycling of renewable resources. The outlets recycle scrapped old cars that are not replaced.
In addition, the plan also requires the Municipal Urban Management Committee and the Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau to coordinate renewable resources and waste lead battery recycling companies to set up a reasonable recycling network, select a list of willing and qualified companies, and push them to the Municipal Bicycle and Electric Vehicle Industry Association and publicize them. Ensure symmetry of information and unobstructed channels.
Many electric vehicle dealers said that at this stage, only a few battery manufacturers have a special way to recycle batteries, and a considerable number of scrapped vehicles on the market seem to be "waste recycling", which will bring non-professionals. The potential safety hazards and environmental risks caused by the dismantling and recycling of products.
The reporter learned from several renewable resource recycling companies that they are currently purchasing these batteries, but the price is relatively low. Among them, lead-acid batteries can be decomposed and used, and their recycling value is relatively high. However, the acquisition of 72v electric vehicle battery packs The price is 300 yuan at most, and if it is a lithium battery, there is almost no value for reuse, and its recycling price is very low, and some recycling points do not even purchase it at all.
A few days ago, the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment publicized a list of 10 companies that are qualified to recycle waste lead batteries in Beijing, and attached the contact information of their responsible persons. Beijing Chaoneng Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is one of them.
On August 24, the reporter saw in a warehouse of the company located in Qingyundian Town, Daxing District, that the staff were using a forklift to move several large packages of used batteries, which were filled with waste lead disassembled from electric vehicles. With acid batteries, the weight of such a large bag can reach two tons.
Wang Kaihong, general manager of Beijing Super Energy Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the reason why lead-acid batteries have a high recycling value is that the main components contained in them have plates. Most of them are lead or some lead oxides.
"In a lead-acid battery, more than 50% of the weight is the plate. A six kilogram lead-acid battery is sold at 100 yuan in the market, and the recycling price of used batteries can reach 50 yuan, which can be said to have a very high residual value." Wang Kaihong said that through recycling, these lead can be re-extracted and reused. At present, more than half of the new lead produced by lead plants comes from recycled lead. It can be said that the recycling of lead-acid batteries has formed a relatively complete line. A virtuous circular industrial chain.
Wang Kaihong said that with the advancement of the “replacement of old and new” over-standard electric vehicles, the recycling volume of used lead-acid batteries is also gradually increasing. “At the beginning of this year, we also received ten tons of batteries every day. One hundred tons."
■ Tips
What is a compliant electric car?
According to the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications" that came into effect on April 15, 2019, the weight of electric vehicles shall not exceed 55kg. Electric vehicles larger than 55kg shall be managed in accordance with electric motorcycles and all require 3C certification.
In addition, the power of electric vehicles should not exceed 400W; the maximum speed of electric vehicles should not exceed 25KM per hour; the installation of parasols and windshields is prohibited, and the installation of pedals is mandatory.
In order to facilitate the identification of operators and consumers and the management of relevant departments, Beijing implements a product catalog system for electric vehicles and makes dynamic adjustments to the catalog.
On July 12, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Market Supervision announced that since this year, Beijing has deleted a total of 209 non-compliant models.
You can try these places when you queue up for the license at the DMV
With the renewal of over-standard vehicles, recently, many non-motor vehicle registration stations in Xicheng, Dongcheng, Chaoyang, etc. have come to license new cars.
The reporter learned from the traffic management department that at present, the non-motor vehicle registration stations of each traffic detachment are the peak hours for registration from 10 am to 11 am and 14 am to 16 am. It is recommended that the public arrange a reasonable time for the peak shift, or choose the nearest electric vehicle. The convenience service point of the car sales store directly handles the registration and licensing business.
All convenience service points are not limited to the registration of vehicles sold in this store. Vehicles purchased by citizens in other stores can also be registered at the convenience service points for electric vehicles of the same brand.
The specific service point address can be inquired on the official website of Beijing Traffic Management Bureau.
