I just recharged my ETC a couple of days ago, and it was quite simple. I went directly to the bank branch where I originally applied, bringing my ID card and vehicle license. Just filled out an application form at the counter. Note that you need to unbind the lost old card, and they will install new equipment for you. The new device needs to be activated manually, so remember to ask the staff to help you with it on the spot. The whole process took only half an hour, but policies vary among different banks, and some may charge a small fee for the equipment.

The most convenient way to replace an ETC device is through online operation. I downloaded the ETC Butler APP, selected 'Report Loss and Replace' under 'Device Management', uploaded photos of my ID card and vehicle license as required, paid the device fee, and had it directly mailed to my home. When installing it yourself, make sure there is no metal film on the front windshield—just stick it to the black area behind the rearview mirror. When activating it via Bluetooth on your phone, remember to turn off the car's WiFi and hotspot, otherwise it may fail.

Last time we replaced the ETC, we went directly to the highway service point, which was much faster than the bank. Just bring your vehicle registration and ID card, and you can get the new device on the spot. The staff will help you install and debug it, and also teach you how to bind it to WeChat Pay. They said that if the device is out of warranty, a material fee will be charged, and the three-year-old device cost me 168 yuan. A reminder: you need to settle any unpaid ETC fees before replacing it. I was stopped and had to pay over ten yuan before they let me proceed.
