Until Which Year Are the Electric Vehicle Quotas Scheduled?
2 Answers
Electric vehicle quotas are scheduled until 2024. Below are the relevant requirements and regulations for the passenger vehicle quantity control: 1. Quota: Demonstration application for new energy passenger vehicle quotas is allocated separately. If the number of applications is less than the current period's demonstration application quota for new energy passenger vehicles, allocation is direct. If the number of applications exceeds the current period's demonstration application quota for new energy passenger vehicles, allocation is done by lottery. 2. Indicators: Any organization or individual has the right to supervise and report any improper means used by applicants to obtain or use the indicators, as well as any negligence or malpractice by government departments and their staff. The indicator management agencies, review departments, and supervisory departments should publicly disclose the reporting hotlines to the society, promptly accept reports, and diligently perform their supervisory duties.
I just checked the electric vehicle quota situation. In big cities like Beijing in 2024, the waiting list might extend to 2026, which is really frustrating. I applied last year and I'm still waiting. With so many applicants and tightened policies, the waiting time has increased from about one year to possibly three or four years now. There are many influencing factors, including changes in city capacity and the upper limit on the number of electric vehicles. Actually, this reflects the broader trend of promoting environmental protection, as everyone is shifting towards new energy. I suggest applying as early as possible, while also considering other cities or hybrid transition options. Don't stress too much; use this time to learn more about the convenience of EV charging, like installing a home charging station or finding community shared charging points, which can save a lot of hassle. Also, consider the charging and range issues. For me, it's great for short trips, but for long distances, I plan my route in advance to avoid the embarrassment of running out of power midway. In short, be patient—you'll eventually get to drive the car you want.
