Hybrid vehicles can be registered with new energy license plates. 1. Whether a hybrid vehicle can obtain a green special new energy license plate depends on the vehicle's technical parameters and local regulations in the area where the vehicle is registered. 2. For example, in Beijing, currently only pure electric vehicles can obtain green new energy license plates, while in other regions, hybrid vehicles may qualify for green plates if they meet the technical requirements. 3. According to the requirements of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, hybrid vehicles must meet the following technical criteria to be classified as new energy vehicles. 4. The vehicle must be a plug-in hybrid type, equipped with an external charging interface, and have a 'pure electric drive' mode. Additionally, the vehicle must have a pure electric driving range of at least 50 kilometers in pure electric mode.

I've been driving a hybrid car for five years. At first, I thought I could get a green license plate and enjoy the benefits, but later found out that regular hybrids like Toyota's non-plug-in models can't get one. New energy license plates are mainly for pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid models, such as those that can be charged via plug like the BYD Qin Plus DM-i. Our city offers green plate benefits like exemption from license plate lottery, no driving restrictions, and exemption from purchase tax, but regular hybrids don't qualify. Buying the wrong car is really troublesome, so now I recommend my friends to choose plug-in hybrids, which are both economical and practical. Also, policies vary by region—Beijing is strict, while Shanghai is more lenient. It's best to check the local DMV app or make a trip to confirm before buying a car to avoid wasted effort.

Why do the car lights still work when the car is flooded?

This situation occurs because the wiring harness or a certain sensor has short-circuited or been corroded due to water ingress. You can use a computer diagnostic tool to read the fault codes and then check the connectors and sensors. If necessary, you can directly go to a repair shop or a 4S store for inspection and repair. Situations when a car is flooded: 1. Water entering the air filter: If the engine only mixes with water vapor and water enters from the air filter, the problem is not serious. Simply clean the water vapor from the air filter, throttle valve, and cylinder. 2. More water ingress: If the engine takes in more water but does not affect normal driving, although the noise is louder, it may be due to a small amount of water in the oil or gasoline. In this case, you need to change the oil and clean the related engine parts. 3. Engine water ingress: If a significant amount of water enters the engine, rather than just mixing with water, but the car has not been started and the engine is not damaged, you need to drain the water completely, clean the interior thoroughly, reassemble it, and replace the oil. 4. Unable to drive: The worst scenario is when the engine takes in a large amount of water and cannot operate after starting. At this point, the engine's cylinders, connecting rods, pistons, etc., may have deformed, indicating that the engine is already scrapped. You can only replace it with a new engine or scrap the car entirely.

How Does Vehicle Damage Insurance Cover Natural Disasters?

Natural Disasters and Auto Insurance: Three Covered, Three Not Covered. 1. Earthquake Not Covered, Tsunami Covered: In auto insurance policies, most insurance companies list earthquakes as an exclusion clause, while losses incurred due to tsunamis are eligible for claims. The risks associated with earthquakes are generally high, with unpredictable destructive power and affected areas. Once a claim arises, the scope and compensation amount may exceed the insurer's capacity. Vehicle damage caused by tsunamis is claimable, as both personal and commercial auto insurance policies explicitly list coverage for "vehicle damage caused by lightning, hailstorms, heavy rain, floods, and tsunamis." 2. Auto Insurance Doesn't Cover, Personal Insurance Does: Vehicles damaged by earthquakes are mostly excluded from auto insurance claims. However, if the policyholder has personal insurance (such as life or accident insurance), losses due to earthquakes may be covered. Personal insurance typically includes life and accident policies, covering death or disability caused by accidents, including those resulting from earthquakes. Therefore, earthquakes are often excluded from auto insurance because personal insurance can provide corresponding claims. 3. Home Property Insurance Doesn't Cover, Some Life Insurance Does: Compared to life insurance, property insurance products covering earthquake damage are rare. For home property insurance, some life insurance policies may cover personal injuries caused by earthquakes. Home property insurance strictly defines natural disasters, including heavy rain, storms, lightning, hailstorms, snow disasters, and sudden ground collapse, but few cover earthquake damage. Most property insurance policies for real estate exclude earthquakes, meaning vehicles crushed under collapsed buildings due to earthquakes are not eligible for claims, hence property insurance does not provide compensation.

What Kind of Container is Safe for Storing Gasoline?

Gasoline should be stored in metal containers for safety. Reasons why metal containers are safer: When refueling cars or motorcycles at gas stations, some drivers often prepare a plastic container to hold gasoline, which is very dangerous. Gasoline is a hazardous material, and direct filling can cause static electricity to accumulate due to the non-conductive nature of plastic bottles or containers, potentially leading to an explosion. Therefore, plastic containers should not be used; metal containers are safer. Regulations on purchasing bulk gasoline: According to regulations from the National Public Security Bureau, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and other relevant authorities, customers purchasing bulk gasoline must obtain a certificate from the local police station. Gas stations can only dispense gasoline upon presentation of the police certificate and the buyer's ID, after completing real-name registration under safe conditions.

How many years did the three express trains operate?

Three express trains operated for 48 years. The origin of the three express trains: The three express trains, originating from Shanghai, Zhengzhou, and Wuhan respectively, were loaded daily with fresh goods for Hong Kong, including live livestock, poultry, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which were transported to Hong Kong via Shenzhen. Because they operated "regularly, on schedule, and on fixed routes" with three trips per day, they were commonly referred to as the "three express trains." Detailed introduction to the three express trains: Over more than forty years, the three express trains passing through the Sungang Customs amounted to over 41,100 trips and more than 36,200 carriages. They transported over 98 million live pigs, more than 5.8 million live cattle, over 7.95 million tons of frozen meat, billions of live poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, as well as countless fruits, vegetables, live fish, aquatic products, dried goods, etc.

What Causes the Failure of Automatic Window Roll-up and Roll-down?

The failure of automatic window roll-up and roll-down can be attributed to several reasons: First, the aging and deformation of the glass sealing strip, which requires replacement of a new sealing strip or application of talcum powder for lubrication if not severe; second, the window lift guide rail being too dirty or obstructed by foreign objects, necessitating cleaning and application of grease; third, motor failure or low battery charge, requiring charging or motor replacement. Aging and Deformation of Glass Sealing Strip: Aging, excessive dirt, or deformation of the glass sealing strip can create resistance to the window's upward or downward movement. It is best to replace the sealing strip, or simply clean it if it's just dirty. Spraying some dashboard wax or applying talcum powder to the glass sealing strip can usually yield good results. Dirty Window Lift Guide Rail: This is also a lubrication issue. Cleaning the window lift guide rail and applying grease can eliminate the malfunction. Low Battery Charge or Motor Failure: When rolling up or down the window without the engine running, the power is drawn from the battery. If the battery charge is too low, difficulties in window movement may occur. If there is difficulty in rolling the window when the battery is sufficiently charged and there is no resistance, it is highly likely due to motor failure.

Should You Pull the Clutch When Turning a Motorcycle?

Motorcycle turning do not pull the clutch, pulling the clutch is usually accompanied by braking. In a curve, this can easily cause the tire to lock up and the bike to fall. Reasons for not pulling the clutch when leaning a motorcycle: When turning a motorcycle, you should first slow down, shift your center of gravity, and then turn the handlebars. Generally, you do not pull the clutch when turning, only reduce the throttle, and lightly pull or step on the brake to slow down. With the clutch engaged, you can use the throttle and brake to control the speed. When the clutch is disengaged, the bike is in an inertial state and cannot use the throttle to adjust speed, making it difficult to control. Therefore, it is generally not advisable to pull the clutch when turning. When you can pull the clutch on a motorcycle: If the curve is very sharp or the speed is not suitable for being too fast, you need to downshift or even stop, then you should pull the clutch. Shifting gears or stopping also requires pulling the clutch.
