According to Beijing's traffic management regulations, pure electric vehicles with blue license plates are not subject to traffic restrictions. Here is some relevant information: 1. About new energy vehicles: New energy vehicles produce minimal pollution and are more environmentally friendly compared to fuel-powered vehicles. Pure electric vehicles can achieve zero pollution during operation and do not emit harmful gases that pollute the atmosphere. Even when converting the electricity consumption to power plant emissions, the pollution caused is far less than that of traditional vehicles, as power plants have higher energy conversion rates. 2. Relevant information: With oil prices soaring today, the operating costs of electric vehicles are significantly lower than those of traditional fuel-powered vehicles. The noise and vibration levels produced by electric vehicles during operation are lower than those of traditional internal combustion engines. At idle and low speeds, they demonstrate superior comfort compared to traditional vehicles, with an energy consumption of only 15-20kwh per 100 kilometers.

When it comes to Beijing's new energy vehicle traffic restrictions, I have some personal experience to share. Having driven in Beijing for many years, the policies here are quite friendly towards pure electric vehicles. According to the latest regulations, pure electric vehicles, which carry license plates starting with Jing B, are generally exempt from traffic restrictions on weekdays. You can drive into the city's six central districts anytime without worrying about the one-day weekly rotation. However, hybrid vehicles are a bit more complicated—they may be subject to traffic restrictions unless they are specific new energy models. Keep in mind that these rules are adjusted slightly every year, so it's best to verify them through the Beijing Traffic Police app. Don't assume that buying a new energy vehicle means no restrictions at all—vehicles with out-of-province license plates still face limitations in Beijing. Before purchasing, check the vehicle classification carefully, such as whether it's pure electric or plug-in hybrid, to avoid unexpected fines. Given Beijing's congested roads, the exemption from traffic restrictions for new energy vehicles does save a lot of hassle.

What to Do If the Rear Car Light Stays On?

If the rear car light stays on, it is usually caused by a short circuit in the brake light switch, which requires replacing the brake light switch. If the issue is not due to a faulty brake light switch, it may be caused by an electrical circuit malfunction in the car. In such cases, the owner should not attempt to fix it themselves and should instead seek professional assistance at a 4S shop or a specialized repair shop. The rear car lights include turn signals, brake lights, position lights, rear fog lights, reverse lights, and parking lights. The reasons for the rear car light staying on may include: 1. Driving without releasing the handbrake can also cause the light to stay on, so first check whether the handbrake is released. 2. The brake fluid reservoir has upper and lower limits. If the brake fluid level falls below the lower limit, the sensor next to the reservoir will detect this issue, and the brake light on the dashboard will indicate it.

What does it mean when the car EPS warning light is on?

When the car EPS warning light is on, it indicates an issue with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which is designed to enhance vehicle handling performance and effectively prevent loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. The ESP system generally includes four major functions: EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), TCS (Traction Control System), and VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control). The working principle of EPS is based on the traditional mechanical steering system. It uses an electronic control unit to generate corresponding magnitude and direction of auxiliary power from the electric motor, based on the torque signal from the steering wheel and the vehicle speed signal, assisting the driver in steering operations.
