How to Transfer a New Energy Vehicle to a Family Member?
2 Answers
Prepare the vehicle's driving license, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle registration supplementary form, and vehicle purchase tax certificate. Obtain a unified used car sales invoice from the used car market. Both the buyer and seller need to sign the "Used Motor Vehicle Sales Contract" supervised by the industrial and commercial department, with the contract in triplicate.
Two years ago, I transferred ownership of my new energy vehicle to my dad, and the whole process involved one extra step compared to a regular car—updating the license plate. First, I had to prepare a bunch of documents: the original vehicle registration certificate, a copy of my ID card, my dad’s ID card, the household register to prove our familial relationship, and the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. When queuing at the vehicle management office, I had to fill out a transfer application form and pay a small transfer fee, usually just a few hundred yuan. During the process, it’s important to check if the green license plate is still valid, as new energy vehicles have special requirements for plates. It’s best to make an appointment in advance to avoid long waits. After the transfer, I reminded my dad to get the annual vehicle inspection and charging maintenance done on time—after all, an energy-efficient and eco-friendly car lasts longer when well-maintained. Transferring ownership within the family saves money and feels heartwarming, cutting out the middleman fees—it’s both practical and touching. I often share these kinds of experiences, as everyone loves practical tips, and I’m always chatting about this stuff on my social media.
