In 2021, the license plate registration requirements for new energy vehicles in Guangzhou were relaxed. After purchasing a new energy vehicle and obtaining the vehicle identification number (VIN), you only need to enter the VIN on the official website of "Guangzhou Small and Medium Passenger Vehicle Quota Regulation Management Information System" to apply for a new energy vehicle registration quota. Additional information about new energy vehicles is as follows: 1. Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and new technologies and structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc.
Last year, I helped a friend with the new energy vehicle license plate registration process in Guangzhou. The 2021 policy was quite clear. The purchased vehicle had to be a new energy model listed in the national recommended catalog. For individual applications, Guangzhou residents could proceed directly; non-residents needed a valid Guangdong residence permit, with no requirement for social insurance duration. The quota application was submitted directly through the Guangzhou Small and Medium Passenger Vehicle Quota System, with no need for a lottery or bidding. I accompanied my friend to the vehicle management office, where the required materials included ID card, residence permit, purchase invoice, and vehicle certificate. The entire process took two weeks, much simpler than for fuel vehicles. Nowadays, green license plates are becoming increasingly common on the roads, and such policies indeed make it easier for people to get on the road sooner.
