What are the differences between green license plates D, F, and G?
2 Answers
D represents pure electric vehicles, F represents non-pure electric vehicles, and G represents plug-in hybrid vehicles. The following is relevant information about green license plates: 1. Purpose of establishing different green license plate types: To better implement the national new energy vehicle industry development and differentiated management policies, new energy vehicle license plates are managed in segments according to different vehicle types. 2. Main features of new energy license plates: (1) Addition of a special logo: The new energy vehicle license plate includes a special logo with a green background, symbolizing electricity and new energy. The right side of the green circle features an electric plug pattern, while the left side's colorful part resembles the English letter 'E' (Electric). (2) License plate number 'upgrade': Compared to ordinary vehicle license plates, new energy vehicle license plate numbers have one additional digit. This upgrade makes the numbering more scientific and reasonable, avoiding 'duplicate numbers' with ordinary vehicle license plates and facilitating more accurate identification during high-speed driving. (3) Improved production process: New energy vehicle license plates are produced using pollution-free hot stamping methods, ensuring an environmentally friendly production process. Additionally, anti-counterfeiting technologies such as QR codes, anti-counterfeiting background patterns, and laser patterns are used to enhance anti-counterfeiting performance.
I often drive green-plate vehicles. The D-plate represents pure electric vehicles, which are entirely powered by electricity with large battery capacities, capable of long-distance travel but reliant on charging stations. They are particularly cost-effective for urban commuting, just plug in to charge at night. The F-plate stands for plug-in hybrid vehicles, which run on electricity when charged and switch to gasoline when the battery is depleted, making them ideal for friends who frequently travel on business, balancing both urban and long-distance needs. I think the G-plate might be fuel cell vehicles, using hydrogen as fuel to generate electricity for propulsion, environmentally clean but with scarce hydrogen refueling stations, making them less convenient. In terms of driving experience, D-plate vehicles are quiet with quick acceleration, F-plate vehicles occasionally have engine noise disturbances, and G-plate vehicles have refueling speeds comparable to gasoline cars. The choice depends on daily travel distance and charging convenience. For example, I prefer D-plate vehicles living in the city, while my friends who often drive on highways tend to choose F-plate vehicles more.
