How many years before a new energy commercial vehicle converted to non-commercial use is scrapped?

New energy commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use are scrapped after 8 years. Definition of scrapping: Vehicle scrapping refers to the process of selling the vehicle to a qualified scrapped motor vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprise for registration, dismantling, and destruction according to regulations. While there is no explicit scrapping period for small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, other vehicle types do have such requirements. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles will be forcibly scrapped when they fail to pass inspections. Purpose of compulsory scrapping: The goal of compulsory vehicle scrapping is to reduce environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions. Vehicles subject to scrapping generally have excessive exhaust emissions, are too old, or have components that are aged or corroded, making them prone to accidents.
Hey, I'm just an old cabbie with over a decade of experience. Recently converted a new energy commercial vehicle to private use. Thing is, the mandatory scrapping age remains unchanged - still calculated from the original commercial registration date, typically 8 years regardless of ownership change. Why? Commercial vehicles endure extreme daily wear and tear, neither batteries nor mechanical parts can withstand that. I know a guy whose converted vehicle reached its limit just three years later - had to scrap it despite the waste, but safety comes first. New energy vehicles save money, fuel and are eco-friendly, but regulations are strict. We owners must track vehicle age carefully to avoid regrets during incidents.
As an ordinary car owner, I once bought a used new energy commercial vehicle and converted it for personal use, only to find out that the scrapping time still follows the commercial registration date. Once a small passenger vehicle is registered for commercial use, it's locked into an 8-year scrapping period, and converting it to non-commercial use doesn't reset the clock. So, the vehicle might need to be scrapped after a few more years of use. I've looked into the policy, and it's mainly to prevent safety hazards since commercial vehicles endure higher usage intensity and faster part aging. It's advisable to perform regular maintenance after conversion, especially frequent checks on the battery system. New energy vehicles have good range, but safety should never be overlooked.
