Annual Inspection Regulations for Pure Electric Vehicles?
2 Answers
Pure electric vehicle models are exempt from tailpipe emissions testing during inspections. However, they are still required to undergo other functional tests such as lighting, exterior appearance, and chassis inspections. After passing the annual inspection, pure electric vehicles, like their fuel-powered counterparts, must display the annual inspection sticker on the windshield as proof of compliance for that year. Reason for New Energy Vehicle Inspection: Due to the potential aging of the three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control), new energy vehicles pose certain safety risks. Annual inspections help identify these issues to reduce the likelihood of spontaneous combustion. Currently, the inspection system exempts new energy vehicles from physical inspections for the first six years, requiring only the collection of the annual inspection sticker every two years. Documents Required for New Energy Vehicle Inspection: Vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption; owner's ID card; if handled by a proxy, the proxy must also bring their own ID card.
I know all about pure electric vehicles! The annual inspection cycle is actually similar to that of gasoline cars: new vehicles are exempt from on-site testing within the first six years, but you need to apply for an electronic inspection mark on the Traffic Management 12123 platform every two years. By the sixth year, you must undergo on-site testing. The inspection station mainly checks safety items like braking safety, chassis condition, and light brightness. But pure electric vehicles have an exclusive benefit—no emissions testing! Last week, I accompanied my neighbor to the inspection station, and his Tesla with 80,000 kilometers on it was done in just half an hour. Remember to clear any traffic violations before the annual inspection, and prepare the vehicle registration certificate and electronic insurance policy. Oh, and severely worn tires can also cause issues during the inspection.
