New energy vehicles converted from commercial to non-commercial use have a mandatory scrapping period of 8 years. Below is an introduction to the conversion of vehicles from commercial to non-commercial use: 1. Vehicles nearing the scrapping period cannot be transferred to other regions: According to relevant regulations, 'Motor vehicles that are within one year (including one year) of their service life when changing their use nature or transferring registration are not allowed to change their use nature, transfer ownership, or move out of the municipal administrative region where they are registered.' 2. Severe penalties for driving scrapped vehicles on the road: According to relevant regulations, 'Driving a modified motor vehicle or a motor vehicle that has reached the scrapping standard on the road, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate it, enforce mandatory scrapping, and impose fines on the driver of the aforementioned motor vehicle driving on the road, as well as revoke the driver's license.' 3. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use mainly refer to retired taxis converted to local license plates. After conversion to local license plates, the service life remains 8 years, with mandatory scrapping 8 years from the date of manufacture, no further annual inspections, and no extension of the scrapping period.
