Do hybrid green license plate vehicles need to pay purchase tax?

[McStephanie]

First, it is necessary to clarify which type of hybrid vehicle is being referred to before determining whether purchase tax is required. Currently, new energy vehicles are divided into hybrid and pure electric, with hybrids further categorized into plug-in hybrids and non-plug-in hybrids. Hybrid models that are not plug-in hybrids are still required to pay purchase tax, while pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are exempt from purchase tax. Hybrid vehicles are mainly divided into the following categories: 1. Mild hybrid models require purchase tax: Examples include the Changan Eado Blue Core Edition and Geely Borui MHEV. These vehicles use a 48V mild hybrid system with a battery capacity of only 1-2KWh, which can only support power assistance during the vehicle's starting phase and cannot support pure electric driving or external charging. Purchase tax is required. 2. Medium hybrid models do not require purchase tax: Examples include the Toyota Corolla, Levin, Honda CR-V Hybrid, and Beijing Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. These vehicles have slightly larger battery capacities and can provide power output during the starting phase but still cannot support pure electric driving or external charging. No purchase tax is required. 3. Plug-in hybrid models do not require purchase tax: Examples include the BYD Tang, Qin, SAIC Roewe ei6, GAC Trumpchi GS4 Plug-in Hybrid, Great Wall WEY P8, and Geely Borui GE. These models typically have a battery capacity of around 10KWh, with a pure electric range of 50-100 kilometers, and can be charged externally. No purchase tax is required.
