Until Which Year Are Electric Vehicle Queues Scheduled?

Already scheduled for eight years later. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Electric Vehicles: Electric vehicles (BEVs) refer to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, driven by motors to propel the wheels, meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic. Pure electric vehicles are motor-driven, with relatively simple and mature technology, and can be charged wherever there is a power supply. 2. Types: Types of electric vehicles include pure electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), etc.

I think the waiting list for electric vehicles depends on which city you're in and the specific model. Take Beijing for example, the application for new energy passenger car license plates is extremely competitive. Last year, there were only about 70,000 individual quotas available, but over 600,000 applicants, making the winning rate less than 1%. I've heard that many people with low points have been waiting for almost ten years without getting a plate. This year, the new policy has optimized the family points system, but accumulating points takes time. In the worst-case scenario, it's possible to wait until after 2030. Other cities like Shanghai use an auction system or points ranking, which is similar. My advice is to apply early and improve your points. For example, those with a long history of continuous participation in the lottery have an advantage. Meanwhile, consider registering in another city or carpooling to meet urgent transportation needs.

From my experience, the long waiting time for electric vehicle license plates is mainly due to the imbalance between demand and supply. After many cities introduced subsidies for new energy vehicles, purchases surged, but the number of plates issued each year is limited. Take Beijing as an example: in 2024, the individual quota for new energy passenger cars is about 70,000, but there are over 600,000 accumulated applicants. Under the points-based system, it's common for young families or those with low points to wait an average of 5-8 years. Policy adjustments, such as giving priority to local residents or those with a history of electric vehicle usage, can speed things up a bit, but overall, waiting more than 8 years is not unusual. If you're in a second- or third-tier city, the situation might be better—for example, under Guangzhou's points system, the average wait is about 3-4 years. Overall, you need to consider your own points and the city's policies when making a plan.

I'm concerned about the queuing issue for electric vehicle license plates and found the key lies in different system mechanisms. Most cities use a lottery or point-based ranking system. For example, Beijing's new energy vehicle quota in 2024 shows that individual applicants with higher points need to wait an average of 4-6 years, while those with lower points may wait over 10 years. Policies change quickly - last year's addition of family priority rules helped some move up, but the total number of applicants keeps growing. If you haven't applied yet, register now to start accumulating points - don't delay. Alternatively, consider leasing plates or using public transportation as transitional solutions to reduce waiting anxiety.
