Do Electric Vehicles Require Annual Inspections?

[SanRicardo]

Electric vehicles do require annual inspections. For privately-owned passenger vehicles, both pure fuel-powered models and electric models must undergo on-site testing after 6 years of use. Vehicles aged between 6 to 15 years require annual inspections, while those over 15 years old need semi-annual inspections. The main difference lies in the inspection items - pure electric vehicles are exempt from tailpipe emissions testing, but still require functional checks like lighting, exterior appearance, and chassis. After passing the inspection, pure electric vehicles must display the annual inspection sticker on their windshields, just like conventional fuel vehicles, as proof of compliance. Required documents for EV annual inspection: vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, vehicle tax payment or exemption proof, owner's ID card. If processed by an agent, the agent must bring their own ID card.
