Hainan Province will no longer sell gasoline-powered vehicles by 2030.

According to the report by Securities Times, Hainan provincial secretary Liu Cigui said that Hainan has set a target to reduce PM2.5 to single digits by 2030 in terms of air quality. To achieve this goal, a series of measures have been taken, such as the use of clean energy, and the entire island will use clean energy by then. Additionally, the sale of fuel vehicles will be stopped by 2030.

Furthermore, we can see the province’s friendliness towards new energy vehicles, and it has provided certain preferential policies, such as exemption from parking fees for new energy vehicles in Sanya from 22:00 to 8:00 the next day starting from July 1 for a period of 3 years. Specifically:

  1. For roadside parking spots, no parking fee will be charged for the first hour from 8:00 to 22:00, and no parking fee will be charged from 22:00 to 8:00 of the next day.

  2. For multi-storey parking facilities that follow government pricing, and parking facilities that are supporting airport, railway station, port, and transportation hubs, no parking fee will be charged for the first 30 minutes.

  3. For parking facilities in tourist attractions, public (run) medical institutions, residential areas that do not have bargaining conditions, and non-multi-storey public parking facilities that are fully invested by the government, no parking fee will be charged for the first hour.

  4. For cars that are charging in government-priced parking facilities, no parking fee will be charged for the first 2 hours.

One representative data shows that as of the end of April, Hainan Province has promoted and applied 3,738 new energy vehicles this year, an increase of 85.4% compared to the same period last year, and the annual task promotion progress has reached 37.4%.
