Can plug-in hybrid vehicles get green license plates?

[DiSabrina]

Plug-in hybrid vehicles can get green license plates because plug-in hybrid models are classified as new energy vehicles under the national new energy vehicle subsidy policy, and they are different from regular hybrid vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered vehicles. They have both the internal combustion engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank of conventional cars, as well as the battery, electric motor, control circuit, and charging port of pure electric vehicles, with a relatively large battery capacity. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles enjoy advantages such as subsidies, exemption from traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers, exemption from purchase tax, and lower maintenance costs. Vehicles with green license plates are not subject to tail number restrictions. PHEVs have the benefits of low noise and low emissions. They operate in hybrid mode with the internal combustion engine as the main power source for long-distance travel, while switching to pure electric mode for short-distance trips (such as daily commuting).
