The subsidy support system for the purchase of non-polluting vehicles such as hydrogen and electric vehicles will be reorganized.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and the Ministry of Environment announced on the 21st that it would completely reorganize the pollution-free vehicle subsidy system in 2021.
The government announced that the reorganization plan took into account both the acceleration of the conversion of pollution-free vehicles, improvement of the air environment improvement effect, and the industrial ecosystem.
The reorganization plan included a plan for infrastructure expansion to expand the supply of pollution-free vehicles, a plan for differential support by performance and efficiency, and a plan for differential support for each price section to induce a price reduction.
In the subsidy policy, which is the most important issue, the government announced that it would differentiate subsidy support standards for each price segment in order to induce electric vehicle price cuts and foster a popular entry-level model.
Vehicles with a price of less than KRW 60 million are fully supported, 50% of vehicles with a price of KRW 60 million or more and less than KRW 90 million are supported, and vehicles exceeding KRW 90 million are not supported.
In addition, the government announced a plan to expand the supply of pollution-free vehicles to 136,000 units (121,000 electric cars and 15,000 hydrogen cars) this year. Compared to the previous year, electric vehicles increased 21.4% and hydrogen vehicles increased 49.2%.
Additional 31,500 electric vehicle chargers (1,500 rapid, 30,000 slow) and 54 hydrogen charging stations (25 general, 21 special, and 8 expansion units) will be additionally built.
The government is raising the subsidy for small and medium-sized businesses and small business owners suffering from Corona 19 from 512 million won to 6 million won for small business owners and small business owners. It is a policy.
It also announced plans to make this year the first year of the electric taxi era by providing additional subsidies to expand the supply of electric taxis that have a high effect on improving the air environment with a long driving distance, and to significantly improve charging convenience by increasing rapid chargers.
Strengthen support for high-performance and high-efficiency vehicles to induce vehicle performance improvement.
When calculating electric vehicle subsidies, the proportion of fuel consumption is raised from 50% to 60%, and incentives are given to energy-efficient vehicles with excellent low-temperature mileage compared to room temperature to induce winter performance improvement.
The government decided to expand the supply base to lead the popularization of pollution-free vehicles and expand incentives so that companies can voluntarily participate in the conversion of pollution-free vehicles.
It promotes the supply of electric vehicles by differentially providing subsidies for vehicles of companies subject to the’Low-Emission Vehicles Supply Target System’ according to the target achievement rate.
In addition, subsidy support will be separately allocated to leasing and rental car companies participating in K-EV100, which publicly declares that companies will convert their own vehicles to 100% pollution-free vehicles by 2030, so that corporations and institutions can voluntarily convert them to pollution-free vehicles. It is a plan to induce.
Strengthen support for commercial vehicles with high air quality improvement effects.
The supply of electric buses, electric cargo, and hydrogen buses will be greatly expanded, and subsidies will be established for the hydrogen truck pilot project.
In accordance with the purpose of market rationalization and subsidy system, the minimum self-pay for electric buses and electric motorcycles is set. In addition, electric motorcycles plan to reinforce user safety by setting an A/S mandatory period for major parts and mandating A/S insurance submission.
The plan to support pollution-free car charger operators will also be reorganized.
The government announced that it will support 30,000 electric vehicle slow chargers this year where it can be operated efficiently. Up to 2 million won for 6,000 slow chargers of 7kW or more, and up to 500,000 won for 24,000 outlet-type chargers of 3kW or more.
The subsidy unit price is lowered compared to the previous year, so that subsidy recipients will also share the installation cost, thereby improving the installation so that it can be installed where it is actually needed. In addition, chargers installed with subsidies are obligated to operate for five years, and if they are removed within the period, subsidies will be returned.
When registering as a project performing organization, the quality of charging services is also improved by reinforcing registration standards such as minimum manpower and operational capability. When doing business through an unregistered outsourcing agency or by impersonating the government, both business operators and recruiters are restricted from participating to prevent side effects from overheating competition.
In order to improve the operating conditions of hydrogen charging stations, new support for hydrogen fuel purchase costs is provided to charging stations operating in the red. The support amount is calculated as 70% of the difference between the purchase price of hydrogen fuel and the standard unit price at the level at which the business operator can achieve the break-even point. In addition, for businesses that are expected to have difficulty with only subsidizing the difference in hydrogen fuel costs due to the small volume of hydrogen sales, the company plans to provide at least 70 million won per hydrogen charging station, but not exceed 80% of the total deficit, so that the business operators themselves can make their own efforts. .
The government said, “We plan to achieve the popularization of pollution-free vehicles and carbon neutrality in the transportation sector at an early stage by executing subsidies smoothly according to the reorganization.” In the future, we will actively respond to changes in market conditions and demand, taking into account predictability and consistency. He announced that he would operate the subsidy system.
