How Long Does It Take to Receive the New Energy Green License Plate?
2 Answers
Normally, the license plate is issued within about 7 working days, but the specific time may vary depending on the region. If you haven't received the license plate yet and are in urgent need of using the vehicle, you can apply for a temporary license plate from the vehicle management office. The validity of the temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. Below is an introduction to new energy vehicles: Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Classification: New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices). Advantages: Zero or near-zero emissions, reduced water pollution from oil leaks, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved fuel economy, enhanced engine combustion efficiency, smooth operation, and no noise.
The mailing time for this new energy green license plate varies depending on the region and application method. I remember going through the process last year—after submitting the materials at the DMV, the staff mentioned it usually takes 7 to 10 business days to mail out. For express services applied online, it might be completed within 5 days at the fastest, but during peak periods like after the Spring Festival, it can be slower. In my case, it took 8 days to receive it, mainly delayed during the address confirmation and license plate number verification stages. If you're in a hurry to get the plate, I recommend submitting the application through the official app or website first, as this allows real-time tracking of progress. After receiving the SMS notification, check your mailbox frequently so you don’t miss the large envelope. Some people overlook address verification or encounter courier delays, which can stretch the wait to up to three weeks—but don’t worry, it won’t affect your ability to use the car.
