What are the new policies for new energy vehicles?

Details of the new policies for new energy vehicles are as follows: No lottery required: Only application and queuing are needed. Everyone knows how difficult it is to obtain a fuel vehicle license plate in Beijing, which involves a probability of success—some people even fail to get one after 3-4 years. However, according to the "Implementation Rules for the Temporary Regulation on the Control of the Number of Small Passenger Vehicles in Beijing (2013 Revision)," new energy vehicle license plates only require application and queuing. It is certain that you will 100% get one, though the waiting time may vary, with the maximum possibly being 2 years. Purchase subsidies: And the cost of usage is relatively low. For details on purchase subsidies, please check elsewhere. Now, after applying for a new energy small passenger vehicle license plate, you can still enjoy certain subsidies when purchasing an electric vehicle. No need to worry about traffic restrictions: According to the "Notice of the Beijing Municipal People's Government on Implementing Traffic Management Measures for Regional Traffic Restrictions During Peak Hours on Weekdays" (Jing Zheng Fa [2017] No. 12), pure electric small passenger vehicles are not subject to traffic restrictions during peak hours on weekdays. For those who rely on daily car travel, this is undoubtedly the best possible favorable policy.
I just bought a new energy vehicle, and the new policies have really changed a lot. Government subsidies are still available, though the amount has decreased, but the purchase tax remains fully exempt, saving tens of thousands. In big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, green-plate vehicles are exempt from traffic restrictions, solving the headache of congestion. Charging infrastructure is also being strengthened, with many more charging stations on highways, making it much more convenient for owners to charge. These policies aim to encourage people to switch to electric vehicles and reduce air pollution. Personally, I find it quite cost-effective—spending less to get on the road while also contributing to the environment. However, it's best to check the latest local regulations before buying, as policy details are adjusted from time to time, so don't miss out. Overall, it's very user-friendly, saving money and being practical.
