Are New Energy Vehicles Mandatorily Scrapped After Eight Years?

[StGrant]

Currently, the state has not introduced a specific scrapping policy for new energy vehicles, so the same scrapping policy as traditional fuel vehicles is still applied. Generally, there is no policy stating that new energy vehicles are subject to mandatory scrapping after eight years. The so-called eight-year mandatory scrapping actually refers to the scrapping time for small and micro passenger vehicles with operational purposes. Therefore, even for new energy vehicles, as long as they are passenger vehicles for operational use, the eight-year mandatory scrapping policy applies. Although there is currently no eight-year mandatory scrapping policy, the performance of new energy vehicle batteries typically begins to decline gradually after 6-8 years of use. If the battery is not replaced beyond this period, the driving range and other aspects will also significantly decrease.
