How much money needs to be recharged for ETC application?

[LaHenry]

Under normal circumstances, if the car owner applies online or at a highway toll station, the full set of procedures will cost approximately 200 to 400 yuan. Currently, many banks offer free ETC application services. For customers who already hold a bank card or credit card, they can also enjoy discounts when applying for ETC. If processed at a bank offering free application, the applicant only needs to recharge a certain amount of funds on the ETC card. ETC installation process: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing film of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time by eliminating the hassle of waiting in queues. Environmentally friendly, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution. Reduces wear and saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improves efficiency, as ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
