2 Answers
PHEVs can get green license plates. Below is relevant information: Shire PHEV: The Shire PHEV is a compact SUV under GAC Honda. Vehicle license plates: In addition to green plates, the most common types are blue plates, yellow plates, white plates, and black plates. Blue plates are used for ordinary small vehicles, including special number segments for government agencies and administrative vehicles other than police cars. Yellow plates are used for large vehicles, mainly including buses, transport vehicles, motorcycles, and driving school training vehicles. White plates are used for vehicles of national judicial departments, such as public security, courts, procuratorates, police cars, and military vehicles. Black plates are used for foreign-related vehicles, such as consulate vehicles.
PHEVs are eligible for green license plates. I've been driving this car for almost a year now, and I was directly issued a green plate when applying because it's a plug-in hybrid. According to China's new energy vehicle policy, models with a pure electric range exceeding 50 kilometers qualify for green plates. The benefits are substantial – it exempts you from purchase tax, saving me over 20,000 yuan in initial costs. Plus, there are no urban driving restrictions, making school runs or commutes much easier. PHEVs offer the flexibility of both fuel and electric power – short trips in pure electric mode are fuel-efficient, eco-friendly, and whisper-quiet. If you're considering one, make sure the model is on the MIIT's approved list. The paperwork is straightforward; dealerships can handle it and assist with no-lottery registration perks. Overall, green plates enhance PHEVs' value – they're cost-effective and practical for daily family use, which is why I've been recommending them to friends.
