Are Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Eligible for Blue or Green License Plates?

[WalkerAnn]

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are not eligible for blue license plates. Below is relevant information regarding new energy vehicle license plate registration: 1. New energy vehicles are divided into two categories: pure electric and plug-in hybrid. For new energy vehicles, a dedicated green license plate is currently used, where the letter D represents pure electric vehicles, and the letter F represents plug-in hybrid vehicles. According to existing vehicle license plate policies, there are two types: blue plates and green plates. Plug-in hybrid vehicles use green plates. 2. Beijing imposes traffic restrictions: Green plates enjoy the convenience of no traffic restrictions or number limitations, but plug-in hybrids are treated differently in Beijing. Although they can obtain green plates, they are still subject to traffic restrictions and do not enjoy road privileges. In fact, there has been ongoing debate over whether plug-in hybrid vehicles should be classified as new energy vehicles, similar to pure electric vehicles, as plug-in hybrids are more like a combination of traditional fuel vehicles and electric vehicles rather than true pure electric vehicles.
