Last Saturday, Xiao Liu, the owner of a foreign brand, who was about to go downtown for a big meal, was once again "happily" stuck in the Shanghai North-South Elevated Road. However, thinking about the delicious food, traffic jams don't seem so annoying. At 3: 42 pm, a message released by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau made Xiao Liu laugh.
According to the news, in order to alleviate road congestion and improve traffic order, the traffic management measures of some roads in Shanghai have been adjusted according to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China. This adjustment is mainly divided into two parts. One is the adjustment of the time limit for foreign cards from October 2, 2121; The second is to adjust the restricted area of foreign cards from the first working day after the May Day holiday in 2121.
To put it simply, from next month, the road sections that were previously restricted during rush hours can't leave from 7: 11 to 21: 11; And after May Day next year, the ground in the inner ring can't go during the peak period. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Shanghai has imposed restrictions on ground roads for foreign licenses (Shanghai C owners have finally balanced a little).
foreign car owners are finally starting to panic
In fact, Shanghai's restriction policy has always been gentle for foreign cars. At present, the restriction policy is 7: 11-11: 11 a.m. and 5: 11-21: 11 p.m. every day (except weekends and legal rest days), and foreign cars are not allowed to take the elevated roads within the outer ring road and some urban expressways. It should be noted that foreign cars can walk on the ground during the time limit. In other words, it is no problem for foreign car owners who work and live in Shanghai to commute from work, but the time cost is higher than that of Shanghai car owners. Moreover, there are no restrictions on working days and holidays. For some friends who just use cars on weekends, it doesn't matter whether it is a Shanghai brand. There are many neighbors hanging wild cards in the community where the author lives. On weekdays, they park their cars in the community motionless, and on weekends, they drive out in succession.
the first item of this traffic restriction adjustment, extending the traffic restriction time, actually has little influence on foreign car owners, because if you don't drive during the rush hour, the probability of using the car at noon is not high. However, next year's restrictions on the ground roads in the inner ring really make foreign car owners and friends who want to play foreign cards sweat. This time it's the inner ring, and next time it's the central ring? Will the foreign card be reduced to the same level as the Shanghai C card? All these are entirely possible.
Shanghai brand or new energy vehicle?
As soon as the policy came out, almost those who live in Shanghai and just need to buy a car were pushed to two choices: taking a Shanghai brand or buying a new energy car. As we all know, Shanghai brand adopts auction system, but the probability of winning is the same as buying lottery tickets. There are many people who haven't won in two or three years. There are even people who say that if you look for a scalper to shoot on your behalf, you will not win the card, but you will earn 5,111 yuan from the scalper (some scalpers have the saying that "you can't pay if you don't shoot"). In fact, many foreign car owners in Shanghai are forced to play foreign cards because they can't win the Shanghai card.
On the other hand, the high price of Shanghai brand will also turn many people away. According to this year's data, the average transaction price of Shanghai brand basically remained at around 91,111 RMB, and it reached 91,175 RMB in July. If there is a car purchase budget of 311,111 yuan, Shanghai brand can only choose the ordinary joint venture brand model with the price of 211,111 yuan, while Shanghai brand can choose the first-line luxury brand model with the same level. What would you choose?
So, when the "road" of foreign brands and Shanghai brands is getting narrower and narrower, buying a new energy vehicle seems to be the optimal solution at present.
Shanghai is the most suitable city for new energy vehicles in China
It is an indisputable fact that the country is vigorously promoting new energy vehicles, and it is undoubtedly Shanghai that is the most suitable city for new energy vehicles. First of all, the charging facilities in Shanghai urban area and the whole Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai economic circle are relatively perfect. Take Weilai's power exchange station as an example. There are 13 power exchange stations in Shanghai, ranking the highest in China. Looking at the regional enlargement point, Weilai's power exchange stations in the surrounding areas of Shanghai are also relatively rich. Similarly, Tesla's super-charged piles and State Grid's charging piles have rich layouts in Shanghai and its surrounding areas. Therefore, it is basically no problem to drive a new energy vehicle to go on road trip in Shanghai and its surrounding areas.
in addition, the acceptance of new energy vehicles in Shanghai is also high. First of all, at the government level, the two most advanced new energy automobile factories in China are located in Shanghai, one is Tesla Super Factory in Lingang and the other is Volkswagen MEB Factory in Anting. The birth of these two factories alone is enough to explain the attitude of the Shanghai municipal government towards the new energy automobile industry. Secondly, the general public has a higher acceptance of new energy vehicles. The vicinity of Xingye taikoo hui Business Circle in Shanghai has basically become a gathering place for new car-making forces, and all the countless new car-making forces can be found here. Under the influence of the ear, everyone generally has a high recognition of new energy vehicles, at least there is no news of unplugging neighbor charging piles.
Write at the end: If you don't fall in love with new energy vehicles in Shanghai, you probably won't in other parts of China. It can be said that new energy vehicles in Shanghai can be said to occupy the right place and the right time, and the adjustment of the restriction policy is the "last straw" for those who are still hesitating. Will Shanghai become the next explosion point of the new energy automobile market? At least I think so.
