On July 16, 2026, China's Ministry of Finance, Customs, and Taxation jointly announced that lithium battery consumption tax will be restored from September 1, 2026, ending the 11-year battery tax exemption. The first-year rate is 2%, rising to 4% from September 2027. Industry estimates suggest pure EV manufacturing costs will increase by RMB 396–1,200 per vehicle. This is seen as a key signal of NEV tax incentives gradually phasing out and aligning with ICE vehicle taxation.
