How is the New Energy Vehicle Family Points Calculated?
3 Answers
The primary applicant of the family receives a base score of 2 points, while other family applicants receive a base score of 1 point each. If a family applicant has previously participated in the regular license plate lottery, 1 point is added for each accumulated step. For those in the queue for a new energy vehicle license plate, 1 point is added for each full year of waiting time from the application deadline, with any partial year counted as a full year. Points from previously accumulated steps in the lottery are combined, but no points are added if the applicant has not participated in the lottery or queue.
I just studied Beijing's new energy vehicle family points policy, which is particularly suitable for multi-generational families like ours. The points are mainly based on three factors: first, the number of generations in the household—since my parents live with us and our child, we count as two generations, earning 30 points; second, the total years of social insurance contributions by all family members—my dad's 20 years of contributions give us an advantage; finally, points are awarded for having a driver's license—both my wife and I have participated in the license plate lottery, which gives us extra points. After this year's policy adjustment, the winning rate for carless families has doubled, with multi-generational families averaging about 35 points more than single applicants. However, it's crucial to note the participant restrictions—all family members must have Beijing household registration or residence permits, including newborns.
Applicants based in Shanghai should note that, in addition to considering the number of family members, the duration of social security contributions is also crucial. For instance, when my husband and I applied for a new energy vehicle license with our parents, the total score was calculated as: base points (determined by household registration type) + social security coefficient. For base points, local household registration adds 20 points, while a residence permit adds 10 points. Both my husband and I have contributed to social security for 60 months, which can be converted at 0.5 points per month. The biggest challenge is ensuring that all family members have made local social security contributions in the past three years. My cousin was disqualified because of a three-month gap in contributions during his university years. The policy requires the main applicant to hold a driver's license, and parents over 70 years old can receive an additional 5 points as a care bonus.
