What are the differences between green car license plates?
2 Answers
Green license plate D represents pure electric, F represents hybrid. There are differences between green license plates and blue license plates: Green license plates are for new energy vehicles, which include fully electric and hybrid vehicles; blue plates are for conventional energy vehicles, i.e., gasoline and diesel vehicles. Different license plate colors: New energy passenger cars use gradient green, while new energy trucks use a combination of yellow and green. Both symbolize green environmental technology, allowing for differentiated management and easy identification, while also highlighting the characteristics of new energy and technological innovation. Different license plate endings: Green license plates have increased from 5 digits to 6 digits, with D representing pure electric and F representing hybrid. Blue license plates have 5 digits.
I recently purchased a new energy vehicle and discovered that green license plates aren't uniform: those starting with D represent pure electric vehicles, powered entirely by batteries; while F indicates plug-in hybrids that can run on both electricity and gasoline. There are significant practical differences between them. For instance, pure EVs enjoy more benefits like free parking and traffic restriction exemptions in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, whereas hybrids may not qualify for as many perks. Charging times differ too - pure EVs take much longer, while hybrids can quickly refuel when needed. Policy-wise, pure EVs are exempt from purchase tax, whereas hybrids only get partial reductions. Choosing the right type when buying can make a big difference and save you a substantial amount of money.
