Central plan: 工业和信息化部等九部门关于印发《智能网联新能源汽车产业发展“十五五”规划》的通知 (2026-09-09); no provincial restatement held yet; provinces have restated this sector's earlier central documents 238–562 days after them (quartiles), so the typical province's restatement falls May 2027 – Mar 2028; the first can come much sooner. Plan watch.

Reading, by audience

Risk and trade policyPolicy output on new-energy vehicles is slowing relative to the rest of the corpus (153 documents in 24 months, in 22 provinces). China exported $58.8bn of these goods in 2025, +98% a year since 2019; 24% went to the EU-27 (+78% a year). From the EU side, China supplied 36% of the EU's imports of these goods from outside the EU in 2025 (+31 points since 2019). In the EU, the gap between the unit value of imports from China and other suppliers' widened from -26% in 2023 to -39% in 2025, while China's volume changed +7% against -2% for the rest: a pointer to price pressure (unit values mix qualities), not a measure of undercutting. 1 EU countervailing case held on these goods. Within the sector, exports to the EU of battery-electric cars are -27% since 2023 while those of plug-in hybrid cars (petrol) are +350%: a switch between headings worth checking against EU measures on them.
Compliance and legal24 of 529 documents (5%) carry a provision or condition that favours local or Chinese firms or production, 11 naming foreign-owned firms as the ones disadvantaged. 3 sector measures come into force and 5 expire in the next 12 months.
Investors225 documents (43%) carry a fiscal or financial support measure. 3931 firms are named on lists in these documents, 95 of them foreign-owned or joint ventures. Listed groups report government grants: BYD RMB 12,634m (2025); Great Wall Motor RMB 2,222m (2024); Geely Auto RMB 1,148m (2025).
ResearchSector set: 489 documents whose title names the sector, plus 216 in its topic tree (529 together). Measures and preference are keyword and model screens: leads to check against the text. Momentum is relative to the corpus, which reduces but does not remove the effect of uneven collection.
