Hybrid vehicles are not eligible for green license plates; they still require blue license plates. The characteristic of hybrid vehicles is that they do not need to be charged and do not have a pure electric driving mode, operating exactly like conventional fuel-powered cars. Although hybrid vehicles are equipped with a battery pack and an electric motor, the battery capacity is very small, and the electric motor only serves to slightly reduce the engine's workload. Therefore, hybrid vehicles are only slightly more fuel-efficient than conventional fuel-powered cars. Hybrid vehicles offer high fuel economy and superior driving performance. The engine in a hybrid vehicle still uses fuel, but during startup and acceleration, the assistance of the electric motor helps reduce fuel consumption. The internal combustion engine can be shut off, allowing the battery to drive the vehicle alone, achieving zero emissions.

I remember when I was choosing a car, I also thought that hybrid vehicles could get green license plates, since they sound environmentally friendly. However, when I actually went to register the car, I realized I was mistaken. At the time, I had my eye on a Toyota hybrid—fuel-efficient and quiet—but when I asked at the vehicle management office, the staff informed me that regular hybrids don’t qualify as new energy vehicles. Only plug-in hybrids are eligible for green plates. Green plates are mainly issued to pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, or fuel cell vehicles, offering benefits like exemption from purchase tax, priority road access, or even free parking in some cities. Although regular hybrids are also fuel-efficient, their electric motors are charged by the engine and cannot be externally charged, so they don’t count as new energy vehicles. Later, I learned that plug-in hybrids can run dozens of kilometers in pure electric mode and have lower emissions, which meets the standards. Before buying a car, it’s best to confirm whether the model can be charged. Like me, taking unnecessary detours wastes time and money, so I’m sharing this to help others avoid the same pitfalls.

What is the principle of the throttle valve?

The throttle valve is used to regulate the engine speed. The larger the throttle opening, the lower the speed. There is an air intake hole next to it. When the throttle angle is large, the air pressure inside the engine is less than that outside, and part of the air enters through the small hole on the side, carrying away the corresponding gasoline. In other words, the smaller the throttle opening, the more gasoline is carried away. The throttle valve is a controllable valve that controls the air entering the engine. After the gas enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. There are two types of throttle valves: the traditional cable type and the electronic throttle. The throttle control mechanism of a traditional engine operates through a cable (soft steel wire) or a rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle mainly uses the throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle according to the energy required by the engine, thereby adjusting the amount of air intake.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Haval F7?

Haval F7's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove compartment first, then you'll see the cover plate of the cabin air filter. After removing the cover plate, you can replace the filter.

Is It Safe to Refuel at Private Gas Stations?

In addition to Sinopec and PetroChina, there are many private gas stations across our country. It's not that private gas stations are inherently bad, but some unscrupulous private operators have also infiltrated the market. Many gas stations that appear to be Sinopec or PetroChina are actually counterfeit upon closer inspection. Traffic police warn that these counterfeit gas stations use Sinopec and PetroChina's navigation lights to deceive customers, offering very cheap prices. The quality of their fuel is not good either. Using such fuel can harm the engine rather than benefit it. Car owners must be cautious when refueling! It is recommended to avoid refueling at private gas stations due to unstable fuel quality. Instead, opt for official gas stations. The quality of gasoline is crucial for vehicles. Firstly, purity matters—high impurity content can lead to carbon buildup and fail to keep the engine clean. Secondly, the gasoline grade must meet standard requirements, as it represents differences in anti-knock performance, primarily the proportion of isooctane. If the standard proportion is not met, anti-knock performance decreases, leading to engine knocking during operation, and frequent knocking can damage the engine.

What is the fuel consumption of a 150cc motorcycle?

The fuel consumption of a 150cc motorcycle is generally around 2.5 liters. Here are some fuel-saving tips for motorcycles: 1. Start slowly in low gear, do not open the throttle before the clutch engages, and when the clutch is half-engaged, gradually release the clutch and slowly increase the throttle. 2. Ride smoothly and accelerate gently. 3. Be careful not to stall while driving. 4. Regularly clean the chain and other hardware on the bike. 5. Refuel when the temperature is low. 6. Maintain a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour. 7. Driving uphill at low speed consumes more fuel, while climbing in high gear at medium speed can save fuel. The cost is around 0.15 yuan. Precautions for riding a motorcycle: When riding out, always check the headlights, taillights, and other lights, ensure there is enough fuel, and never forget to bring repair tools. In case of any unexpected incidents during the trip, having repair tools can be a lifesaver! Always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle!
