How to Change from Regular Vehicle Lottery to New Energy Vehicle Lottery?

[VonAlyssa]

Log in to the regular passenger vehicle application form, where you will find an option to switch the indicator type at the top of the form. After clicking confirm, the indicator type will be successfully changed. The following points should be noted for the new energy vehicle lottery: 1. Separate Count Accumulation: Regular indicators and new energy indicators accumulate counts separately, with separate tier settings. Currently, only regular indicators involve tier accumulation upon winning. If you do not win, switching applications will not affect the accumulation of each tier. However, if you switch from the regular lottery pool to the new energy lottery pool and obtain a new energy indicator but do not use it, and then apply for a regular indicator again, you will receive a new lottery code, and previous counts will not be accumulated but reset to zero. 2. Application Quantity: If the number of applications is less than the current quota for demonstration new energy passenger vehicle indicators, direct allocation will occur. There is no limit of 8 application codes for enterprises applying for demonstration new energy passenger vehicle indicators.

I've encountered this issue before, converting a regular gasoline vehicle lottery quota to a new energy vehicle (NEV) indicator. The specifics depend on your city's policy. In major cities like Beijing, there's a dedicated NEV passenger car indicator application system. You need to log in to your local passenger car quota regulation website, locate your existing regular indicator application in your personal account, and cancel it. Then, submit a new application, this time selecting the new energy vehicle type. Don't forget to choose either pure electric or plug-in hybrid when filling in the vehicle information, as different cities may have varying requirements for vehicle types. After reapplying, the system will review your eligibility, including conditions like social security and residence permits. Note that after conversion, your accumulated regular lottery attempts will be reset to zero, but NEV indicators operate on a queuing system, so the earlier you apply, the better. The entire process can actually be completed on your phone without visiting the vehicle management office.

I just went through the process of changing my license plate lottery type last year. First, you need to check if your local area is still accepting new energy vehicle quota applications - some cities may have suspended them. The procedure is quite simple: log into the passenger car quota control system and cancel your original regular passenger car application. Here's the key point - you must submit a new application form, this time selecting the new energy vehicle type. Pay special attention to the vehicle model selection when filling out the form, as pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles belong to different categories. The review process takes about a month, during which you can't participate in the regular lottery. I recommend completing this before year-end, as many cities have limited annual quotas for new energy vehicle licenses, and early applicants get higher priority. Also, remember to update your driver's license information, as new energy vehicles have specific license requirements.

This process involves three steps: cancel the original application, submit a new application, and wait in line. First, go to the local quota website or app, find your previous ordinary passenger car lottery application, and click to cancel. Then immediately reapply, selecting new energy passenger cars as the application type. Note that after conversion, the waiting time starts from scratch under the queuing system, unlike the lottery which depends on luck. When filling out the form, you must clearly choose between pure electric or fuel cell vehicles, as hybrid cars may have additional restrictions. The entire process takes about half an hour and is much easier than expected. After applying, remember to check your ranking regularly, as new energy quotas are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
