Do new energy vehicles have motor vehicle registration certificates?

New energy vehicles do have motor vehicle registration certificates. Documents required for applying for a motor vehicle registration certificate for new energy vehicles: Identity proof of the vehicle owner, vehicle photos, motor vehicle inspection certificate, unified motor vehicle sales invoice, motor vehicle inspection record form, and motor vehicle whole vehicle factory qualification certificate or import certificate for imported motor vehicles. Method for reissuing a lost motor vehicle registration certificate: The vehicle owner must drive the vehicle to the local vehicle management office where it was registered with their original ID card to apply for reissuance. If the certificate is lost in a different location, reissuance cannot be processed there. The motor vehicle registration certificate is very important and must be kept properly.
As a new energy vehicle owner who just bought the car last year, I specifically consulted the DMV about this issue. New energy vehicles absolutely have motor vehicle registration certificates - this thing is as important as a car's ID card. When I registered my pure electric vehicle, the process was quite similar to traditional fuel-powered cars: after paying the purchase tax, I took the certificate of conformity and invoice to the DMV, where staff entered the information and issued the blue registration booklet. It contains detailed records of core parameters like the vehicle identification number and motor power, and must be brought for every annual inspection. However, new energy vehicles will have 'pure electric' or 'plug-in hybrid' specifically marked in the third column of the certificate. Property management also verifies a copy of this certificate when installing charging stations. Be sure to keep this booklet safe - last time my friend had to visit the DMV three times to get a replacement.
