ZEEKR, Xiaomi, Aito, and more than 20 other car companies announced to cover the purchase tax, with a maximum savings of 15,000

Starting from January 1, 2026, the purchase tax for new energy vehicles will be adjusted from a full exemption to a 50% reduction. Currently, the purchase tax rate is 10%, so the reduced tax for new energy vehicles means an actual tax rate of 5%. At the same time, the tax exemption cap has been lowered from 30,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan. In the face of certain increased costs and uncertain subsidy details, the market has proactively "rushed ahead." More than 20 car companies, including ZEEKR, Xiaomi, and Aito, have launched "purchase tax guarantee" policies, promising to cover the tax difference for customers who lock in orders by the end of the year and deliver next year, with a maximum amount of up to 15,000 yuan.
