According to the new regulations, purchasing new energy vehicles is exempt from the lottery. Below is detailed information about new energy vehicles: 1. Overview: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving. These vehicles feature advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc.

Regarding Beijing's new energy vehicle license plates, I have some insights. Regular fuel vehicle plates require a lottery system with a low success rate, leaving many people waiting for years without results. However, new energy vehicles are entirely different. The government has established dedicated quotas to promote eco-friendly transportation—no lottery is involved, just a direct application queue system. You need a Beijing household registration or residence permit, then submit an online application and wait for quota allocation to obtain the plate. The waiting time depends on the number of applicants, usually completed within a few months. I find it practical—charging is convenient and cost-effective, purchase tax is exempt, and there are no traffic restrictions on designated days. However, I recommend planning ahead to install a charging station in your parking space to avoid difficulties after purchase. Overall, new energy vehicles are an excellent choice to bypass the lottery hassle, ideal for people like me who value convenience and environmental protection.

Where Should ETC Be Installed?

For small cars, the ETC device is generally installed in the upper-middle part of the windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower-middle part. The appropriate installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. If the vehicle has or will have an anti-explosion film, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, so the device should be installed in the microwave window area. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide their valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is handling the application on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some important considerations for installing ETC: 1. Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a steep incline, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC device without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. 2. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or in positions that may block the solar panel. 3. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If the device is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing the same device. When using ETC, please note the following: - The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to a malfunctioning ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. - The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to unsuccessful toll deduction. - If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction to fail.
