Whether hybrid vehicles can get green license plates depends on different situations: 1. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can get green license plates; 2. Conventional hybrid electric vehicles cannot get green license plates. The working principles of hybrid vehicles are: 1. Range-extended hybrid, which uses the high burst of electric power to start and then enhances power in an auxiliary form; 2. Parallel hybrid, where the battery and fuel tank work together to deliver strong power. Examples of hybrid vehicles include: BMW i8, Volvo S80, Honda CR-V, Kia Niro, Cadillac XT5, etc. Taking the 2017 Dongfeng Honda CR-V as an example, it is positioned as a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4585mm, width 1855mm, height 1679mm, wheelbase 2660mm, and a body weight of 1659kg.

Whether a hybrid vehicle can get a green license plate depends on if it's a plug-in hybrid. Plug-in hybrids like the BYD DM-i, which can be charged via power source and run on pure electric for a certain distance, generally qualify for green plates. I recommended one to a friend when helping them choose a car, and the license plate registration went smoothly. Non-plug-in hybrids like the older Toyota Prius, which rely solely on fuel to generate electricity, can't get green plates and are limited to blue ones. The policy requires a pure electric range of over 50km to apply for a green plate, and requirements might be stricter in provincial capitals. Green plates offer many benefits, such as no driving restrictions in urban areas and some savings on purchase tax, but you need to charge regularly to maintain the environmental advantages. In short, only plug-in hybrids can unlock the benefits of green plates, so make sure you don’t buy the wrong type.

How to Steer the Wheel When Making a U-turn in Driving Test Part 3?

When making a U-turn in Driving Test Part 3, you should turn on the turn signal. Here are the extended instructions: 1. As you approach the U-turn location, drive close to the right side, reduce speed and shift to a lower gear, then turn on the left turn signal. 2. Once you confirm that the U-turn maneuver will not affect vehicles in other lanes, make the left turn decisively. 3. When the front of the car is about to cross the left edge of the road, quickly straighten the wheels, brake, and turn the steering wheel sharply two full turns to the right. 4. Sound the horn and observe the traffic behind you and on both sides of the road. After ensuring safety, immediately shift into reverse gear and back up. 5.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Zotye T600?

The cabin air filter of the Zotye T600 is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side, near the left side where there is a rectangular removable panel. Due to the multiple slots, a screwdriver can be inserted into the gap to slowly pry it open when removing. When taking out the old cabin air filter, observe the shape of the filter housing edge to ensure the new filter is installed in the correct orientation. Below is additional information about the cabin air filter: 1. The cabin air filter should be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. When the air conditioning is turned on, outside air enters the vehicle, and the cabin air filter absorbs a large amount of dust and impurities. If the filter is not replaced for a long time, its filtration performance will decline, significantly affecting the driving experience and interior hygiene. 2. Due to the limitations of the manufacturing materials, the cabin air filter cannot be cleaned with water, as a large amount of moisture can render the filter unusable. To clean it, use an air gun to blow out the dust from the opposite side. When cleaning, wear gloves, a mask, and eye protection to prevent dust and debris from entering your body.

What materials are needed for renewing a driver's license after expiration?

To renew a driver's license after expiration, you need to prepare two one-inch photos, a medical examination certificate, your ID card, and the original driver's license. One of the photos should be affixed to the top right corner of the medical examination form, while the other will be used for the new license. Then, bring your ID card and driver's license to the licensing hall, fill out the renewal application form, submit the documents along with the medical examination certificate and renewal application form to the staff, pay the fee, and wait to receive your new license. Before renewing, check if there are any outstanding traffic violations. If there are, they must be resolved first; otherwise, the vehicle management office cannot process the renewal. You can start the renewal process up to 90 days in advance. It's important to schedule the renewal properly to ensure it's completed before the original license expires. Typically, the renewal is processed on the spot, but in some cities, it may take a few days to complete the necessary procedures. Once done, you will be notified to collect your new driver's license.
