The government is considering a plan to pay subsidies for electric vehicle battery subscription services to leasing firms, which own the batteries. The key point is that consumer subscription fees are expected to fall.
The measure is a policy under consideration ahead of a demonstration project. Based on the results of the demonstration, the subsidy payment method and recipients are expected to be finalized.
The policy direction is said to be toward providing benefits equivalent to those of buyers. In other words, leasing firms that directly own the batteries would receive support at the same level as buyers.
The recipients of the subsidy are being considered as leasing companies that own the batteries. If the subsidy is paid to leasing companies, a structure in which they lower subscription fees for consumers was mentioned.
Details such as the payment criteria, recipients and timing have not yet been decided. The government plans to refine the subsidy scale and procedures after reviewing the pilot results.
The companies under review this time include leasing companies and battery subscription service operators. It was said that the policy aims to ease consumer costs and expand the subscription market.
Related industries are paying attention to the selection of subsidy recipients and the accounting and tax treatment. The results of the pilot project are expected to determine whether the subsidy is introduced and what the detailed conditions will be.
