Plug-in hybrids are exempt from purchase tax. Purchase tax for plug-in hybrids: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles still enjoy exemptions from purchase tax, green license plates, and government subsidies. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is a type of new energy vehicle that bridges the gap between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars. It features a conventional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel lines, and fuel tank. In daily use, it can function as a pure electric vehicle as long as each trip does not exceed the battery's range (typically over 50 kilometers is achievable), allowing for zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. Considerations for plug-in hybrid vehicles: Properly manage charging time: During use, accurately determine charging times based on actual conditions, considering frequency of use and driving distance. During normal operation, if the battery indicator shows red and yellow lights, charging should commence. If only the red light remains, operation should cease, and charging should begin promptly to avoid severe battery degradation from over-discharging.
