What are the new regulations for annual inspection of new energy vehicles in 2021?
1 Answers
New regulations stipulate that vehicles within 6 years of purchase are eligible for two exemptions from inspection (inspection labels must be applied for every two years without requiring on-site vehicle testing). Vehicles exceeding the following periods require annual inspection: 1. At the 6th and 8th year, vehicles must undergo on-site testing. 2. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle remains in effect, meaning annual inspections from 10 to 15 years, and semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years. Compared to traditional fuel vehicles, new energy electric vehicles feature more specialized three-electric systems, with internal structures that are more complex than conventional vehicles. The power batteries installed in these vehicles must have a voltage of at least 300V, presenting extremely high risk factors. Additionally, the intricate electrical wiring structures are prone to aging, and without annual inspections, potential safety hazards would increase year by year.
