Industry chaos
Can heavy fist remediation cure the problem?
The huge demand for people's travel has boosted the rapid development of low-speed electric vehicles, but it also caused various chaos in the industry because of the lack of supervision, unclear rights and responsibilities, and delays in the introduction of standards.
In this regard, local governments do not lack heavy punches to rectify. Since July 11 this year, Zhengzhou has clearly stipulated that electric tricycles and electric four-wheelers within the urban area will be punished according to motor vehicle standards, whether they are unlicensed or unlicensed. At the same time, many low-speed electric vehicle sellers have also implemented customs clearance. This is the most stringent joint rectification action since Zhengzhou banned in 2007, which has had a major impact on the low-speed electric vehicle market in Zhengzhou and surrounding areas.
Two weeks later, Shandong Province announced the control policy of “3 million low-speed electric vehicles to control the implementation of the ban on travel restrictions in Shandong”. After that, Heze and Taian introduced the low-speed electric vehicle control policies at the prefecture-level city level.
In addition, Beijing is also mulling a strict management of low-speed electric vehicles. This is inevitably due to the rapid growth of low-speed electric vehicles, resulting in tight public road resources, illegal road occupations, traffic safety accidents, etc., and triggered a round of government strengthening management measures.
However, to solve the problem of urban traffic, it is necessary to avoid rather than block. The one-size-fit forbidden ban does not only affect the convenience of residents' travel, but also affects the development of enterprises. Is it really only possible to rely on "forbidden" and "limited"?
Industrial upgrading
Urgent policy guidance
In fact, the development of the low-speed electric vehicle industry has never relied on government support, but in the round of strict management, it has grown against the market and expanded rapidly. This is enough to show that people's huge travel demand is reflected in the market and promotes market prosperity. With the development of urbanization, China's third-fourth to township residents have a huge population base of 600 million. The development of the entire industry can be said to have just begun, and its potential is huge.
How to solve the contradiction between the convenience travel of the people and the tightness of road resources is the time to test the wisdom of management. In fact, in 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Development and Reform, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Transport have reported the "Requests for the Management of Low-Speed Electric Vehicles" and proposed "upgrading a batch, standardizing a batch, Eliminate a batch of "work ideas." With the intensification of competition, the electric vehicle industry has indeed begun industrial upgrading, and brand concentration has increased.
In fact, the use of low-speed electric vehicles in the current situation is a real travel “just need”: one- or two-line purchase of the city's home-centered life, three-fourth-line cities to township residents affordable economic travel tools .
It is precisely because of these “just need” that the number of low-speed electric vehicles will increase year by year, and the burden on roads and transportation will increase. It is imperative to strengthen management. At the policy level, whether low-speed electric vehicles are included in passenger cars, motorcycles or separate categories of motor vehicles is still inconclusive.
This kind of "three no matter" status, on the one hand, can not control the quality of products, causing safety hazards, breeding industry chaos, on the other hand, it is difficult to protect the rights of electric vehicle users.
It is also difficult to supervise, and there will be a one-size-fits-all ban and limit. This is the double loss of residents' travel and output value. In light of the actual situation, whether the policy can be more adapted to local conditions, while urging the low-speed electric vehicle industry to standardize, standardize and brand as soon as possible, and let more residents who use low-speed electric vehicles can travel safely and confidently. Positive policy guidance is a two-pronged industry and travel.
