Is a Lottery Still Required for Green License Plate Vehicles in Tianjin?
2 Answers
Tianjin green license plate vehicles require participation in the lottery. Below is relevant knowledge about new energy vehicles: Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving systems to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. Types: New energy vehicles include four major categories: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. Unconventional vehicle fuels refer to fuels other than gasoline, diesel, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, ethanol gasoline, methanol, and dimethyl ether.
I actually looked up the latest policy on this. In Tianjin, getting a green license plate for new energy vehicles indeed doesn't require a lottery—just apply for the quota directly with your ID card and residence permit. However, it's important to note that if you choose a blue license plate for hybrid vehicles, you'll need to participate in the lottery. Last month, I accompanied a friend to get a green plate, and it only took three days from applying for the quota online to getting the plate at the DMV. With more and more people buying electric vehicles these days, I recommend getting the process done early if you're planning to buy one, just in case the policy changes and the lottery system is reintroduced, which could be troublesome. The application process can be found on the Tianjin Passenger Car Regulation Management Information System website, and make sure not to make any mistakes when filling in your personal information.
