What are the green license plate hybrid models?

[AdrielAnn]

Hybrid models eligible for green license plates include: BYD Yuan EV, Geely Borui GE New Energy, GAC Trumpchi GS4 New Energy, Volkswagen Golf New Energy, Volvo S90, Toyota Corolla Twin Engine E+, Volkswagen Passat New Energy, etc. Currently, only pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles can apply for green license plates. Taking the Volvo S90 as an example, it is a luxury sedan under the Volvo brand. In terms of body dimensions, the Volvo S90 measures 5090mm in length, 1879mm in width, 1450mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3061mm.

In China, hybrid vehicles eligible for green license plates must be plug-in hybrids with a pure electric range exceeding 50 kilometers. Based on my recent market research, BYD's DM-i series is the most popular, with models like the Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i offering over 100 kilometers of pure electric range plus gasoline backup – many of my friends have purchased these. Geely's Galaxy series is also trending, with the Galaxy L7 featuring standard fast charging that reaches 80% capacity in just half an hour. For those with sufficient budget, Li Auto is worth considering – its range-extended hybrids also qualify for green plates, with the Li L9 being particularly practical for family trips. Great Wall Motors recently launched the Blue Mountain DHT-PHEV, which boasts spacious interiors and strong performance, offering high cost-effectiveness in the 300,000+ RMB price range.

More and more of my friends are buying hybrid vehicles, and I’ve noticed that plug-in hybrids with green license plates are indeed very convenient. Performance models like the BYD Tang DM-p can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds while still qualifying for a green plate, and daily electricity costs are minimal. For salaried workers, cars like the Toyota Corolla Twin Engine E+ are the most cost-effective, offering reliable Japanese technology and excellent fuel efficiency. However, it’s important to note that regular hybrid vehicles (non-plug-in) cannot get green plates—only plug-in hybrids qualify. Domestic brands have really stepped up their game; models like the Roewe eRX5, priced just over 200,000 yuan, offer a pure electric range of around 70 km, which is more than enough for daily commutes. When choosing a car, it’s advisable to check the MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) catalog to confirm if it meets the green plate standards, avoiding any issues during registration.

Hybrid green-plate vehicles are becoming increasingly popular. Here are some key models to consider: the BYD Qin PLUS in the 100,000 yuan range, the hot-selling Lynk & Co 01 EM-P in the 150,000 yuan segment, and the Li ONE, the sales champion in the 250,000 yuan and above category. Domestic brands dominate the market, while joint-venture models like the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid are also quite popular. It's best to test drive these vehicles before making a decision, as hybrid technologies vary significantly between brands—some have smooth electric motor engagement, while others may have noticeable engine noise. If charging is convenient, opting for a model with a longer pure electric range, ideally over 100 kilometers, is recommended.

Nowadays, there is a wide selection of plug-in hybrid models eligible for green license plates. Popular sedans include the BYD Han DM-i, while SUVs feature models like the AITO M7. The Changan Deepal SL03 range-extended version is priced under 170,000 yuan and is quite popular among young buyers. When choosing a vehicle, pay special attention to the battery warranty, as many brands offer lifetime coverage. The operating costs are significantly lower—a colleague driving the Tang DM-i spends just over 100 yuan monthly on electricity, much cheaper than refueling. Among newly launched models, the Geely Galaxy L6 and Haval Xiaolong MAX offer very competitive pricing.

Hybrid green-plate vehicles are divided into plug-in and range-extender types. Representative models of plug-in hybrids include BYD's Dynasty series, where the Qin, Song, Tang, and Han series all qualify for green plates. Range-extender models mainly consist of the entire Li Auto lineup and the Deepal S7, which use a generator to power the electric motor. Recently, I test-drove the Changan UNI-K iDD, and its pure electric range of 130 kilometers is indeed sufficient. If you mainly drive in the city, it's advisable to choose a model with a larger battery capacity; if you frequently travel long distances, you should consider the fuel tank capacity. Nowadays, domestic hybrid vehicle technology has become very mature, with much lower failure rates compared to previous years.
