For the 6-year exemption policy, the time is calculated from the year of purchase. The first 5 years are exempt from on-site vehicle inspection, but it is required to apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office every two years. Starting from the 6th year, an on-site annual inspection is required. A car purchased in 2014 will be in its 8th year by 2021, which is beyond the exemption period, so it needs an on-site annual inspection. Six-year exemption policy details: Content: Non-operational large, small, and mini (under 7 seats) sedans, as well as non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, enjoy the 6-year exemption policy. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) are included in the exemption scope. Note: Vehicles within the exemption scope are exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, but it is required to bring the vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office every two years to apply for the inspection compliance mark. This can also be processed online.

Lynk & Co 06: Should I Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

Lynk & Co 06 can use either 92 or 95 octane gasoline. 92 Octane Gasoline: 92 octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and contains 8% heptane, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles. The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline lies in the different levels of isooctane additives, which affects the gasoline's anti-knock properties. 95 Octane Gasoline: 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. Using low-octane gasoline in high-compression engines can lead to abnormal combustion, causing knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving performance. However, high-compression engines can still use low-octane gasoline; the key is not to blindly choose gasoline based on compression ratio but to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Can Electric Vehicle Registration Be Completed in One Day?

Yes. New vehicle registration can be completed in one day. Citizens who bring all the required documents for new vehicle inspection and complete the relevant procedures at the service window can finish the process in at most half a day. For dealerships handling new vehicle registration on behalf of customers, since scheduling an inspection takes time, it requires more time compared to self-processing by citizens, but the slowest completion time is within 15 days. Materials required for new vehicle registration include: the owner's ID card (non-local residents also need to provide residence information), the motor vehicle sales invoice, the motor vehicle factory certificate or import certificate, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, and the motor vehicle compulsory insurance policy. If an agent is handling the registration, a power of attorney and the agent's ID are also required.
