Electric vehicles cannot use blue license plates. Currently, electric vehicles can only be registered with green license plates. Electric vehicles that have already been registered with blue license plates can continue to use them. Below are the specific details: Specific License Plate Colors: Since the launch of the new energy vehicle license plates on November 20, 2017, if a motor vehicle is classified as a new energy vehicle, it can only be issued a green new energy license plate during registration, transfer, or other registration procedures, and cannot be issued a blue license plate for ordinary small cars. For new energy vehicles that have already been registered with small car license plates, they can continue to use the small car license plates or choose to apply for a replacement with a new energy vehicle license plate.

I find this topic quite interesting. Electric vehicles indeed cannot use blue license plates in China. The regulations stipulate that both pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles must use green license plates. The green plates were introduced by the state to encourage new energy vehicles, while blue plates are exclusively for traditional fuel-powered vehicles. The policy was implemented around 2016 with the aim of distinguishing vehicle types for easier management. Green plates come with many benefits, such as exemption from traffic restrictions in major cities and even free parking in some areas. Applying for a green plate is quite straightforward—just complete the necessary procedures at the vehicle management office after purchasing the car. Blue plates are reserved for fuel-powered vehicles, and it would be illegal for an electric vehicle to use a blue plate. I’ve checked the regulations, and while there might be minor regional differences, the overall policy is consistent nationwide. Green plates also look fresh and represent the trend of eco-friendly travel, appearing more modern than blue plates. I recommend that car owners clarify the license plate policies before purchasing a vehicle to avoid any hassle.

How to Clean Car Windows Effectively?

Methods to clean car windows: 1. Pour car glass cleaner into a spray bottle and evenly spray it on the interior windows; 2. If concerned about the cleaner affecting other areas inside the car, cover them with a cloth or plastic beforehand; 3. Use a clean, soft towel to wipe the windows; 4. Use another clean towel to remove the foam. Toothpaste can also be used to clean car windows because it has strong stain-removing properties, can eliminate oil films, and has a polishing effect, which is quite noticeable on glass. For stubborn dirt on car windows, using a towel alone may not only make it difficult to clean but also easily cause scratches during the process. First, wet the window glass with water, then use toothpaste to clean the dirt. Toothpaste can effectively dissolve the dirt; gently scrub with a sponge and rinse clean.

What does AC mean on a car?

AC on a car refers to the compressor switch of the car's air conditioning system, which is the cooling switch. In summer, when you need cold air from the air conditioning, you must turn on the AC switch. The car air conditioning system consists not only of the compressor but also components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. However, the compressor is one of the most important and primary components of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. There are some differences between car air conditioning and home air conditioning usage. Car air conditioning requires the compressor for cooling, but heating does not need the compressor. The heating system relies on the heat generated by the engine during operation to provide warmth. Therefore, you need to wait for the temperature of the coolant to rise before heating can be provided. Typically, after driving for a while, the temperature of the coolant will increase, and you can turn on the air conditioning when the vehicle is operating normally.

Can you overtake on a yellow dashed line?

Generally, dashed lines allow overtaking, but yellow dashed lines are typically used to separate lanes of opposing traffic, often found on narrower roads. Overtaking on such roads can be hazardous, so it is not recommended to overtake at a yellow dashed line. If overtaking is absolutely necessary due to special circumstances, ensure safety and drive cautiously. More details are as follows: 1. Article 47 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. 2. On roads without a center line or with only one lane in the same direction, the leading vehicle should reduce speed and move to the right to yield when it receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, provided conditions permit. 3. The following vehicle should overtake from the left side of the leading vehicle only after confirming a sufficient safe distance, and after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.

Will the Car Lock with the Key Inside?

The car will lock with the key inside. After the vehicle is turned off, if you close the door without taking the key, the doors and the rear hatch will automatically lock after a few minutes. Here are some precautions for using car keys: 1. Do not leave the spare key in the car: If the smart key is lost due to improper storage, it can cause a lot of trouble, and the cost of re-matching is relatively high. 2. Avoid contact with metal objects: If the smart key comes into contact with or is covered by metal objects, it may malfunction. Extended content: A remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock and lock the doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock.
