Is a Lottery Required for Electric Vehicles in Tianjin?

[VanRachel]

Tianjin does not require a lottery for new energy vehicle license plates; only energy-efficient vehicles and conventional vehicles are subject to the lottery system. Hybrid vehicles (non-plug-in) require a lottery, while plug-in hybrid vehicles do not. Unit incremental quotas account for 12% of the total allocation, while individual incremental quotas make up 88%. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: According to Article 17 of the "Tianjin Passenger Vehicle Total Quantity Control and Management Measures" (Jin Zheng Fa [2014] No. 33), energy-efficient vehicle incremental quotas are allocated through a lottery system, while conventional vehicle incremental quotas are allocated through both lottery and bidding. Energy-efficient vehicle and conventional vehicle incremental quotas are drawn separately.
