Can New Energy Vehicles Drive on Highways?
1 Answers
Yes, but energy is one issue, and range is another major problem. Although some new energy vehicles currently advertise a range of up to 300-400 kilometers, the actual situation is far from that. The real range is much smaller than this figure, and even with a full charge, it may not be enough to reach the destination, requiring mid-journey charging. Below is more related information: Basic requirements for vehicles on highways: 1. Vehicles must meet the basic conditions for road use, meaning they must be motor vehicles registered with the traffic management authorities of the public security department. Temporary road use also requires obtaining a temporary license plate, displaying the vehicle license plate, inspection qualification mark, insurance mark, and carrying the vehicle registration certificate. Apart from pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailer trucks, and other motor vehicles with a design speed lower than 70 km/h, all are prohibited from entering highways. 2. Based on the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' the 'Henan Province Highway Regulations' further stipulate that tracked vehicles, motorcycles, three-wheeled motor vehicles, and vehicles with test or training license plates are not allowed on highways within the province. As a substitute for fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have no difference in drivable routes compared to ordinary fuel vehicles, so they can fully drive on highways, with the same toll methods as ordinary fuel vehicles, which is nothing to worry about. 3. However, due to the range issue of new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, if driving on highways, the following points should be noted. First, pay attention to your battery level, as pure electric vehicles rely solely on electricity, so the range must be carefully monitored. Fortunately, most highway rest stops now have charging stations, and if the battery is low, you can charge at the nearest rest stop, but planning ahead is essential.
