What are the requirements for licensing an electric vehicle?
2 Answers
Electric bicycles applying for registration and licensing must comply with national and municipal standards and be included in the city's electric bicycle product catalog. Documents required for individual applications: For individual electric vehicle licensing, the original and photocopy of the "Resident ID Card" or "Temporary Resident ID Card" must be submitted. Since it is an automatic transmission, the driver must hold a C2 or higher driver's license to drive on the road. Documents required for unit applications: Submit the original and photocopy of the unit's "Organization Code Certificate" and the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card. Documents required for the vehicle: Original and photocopy of the electric bicycle's proof of origin (invoice); electric vehicle certificate of conformity.
I just got my new car licensed—it's a pure electric vehicle, and the whole process went smoothly. The requirements for electric cars are much simpler than for gasoline ones: you need to bring the purchase invoice to prove the vehicle's legal origin, don’t forget a copy of your ID card, and the vehicle qualification certificate is a must. I bought a BYD, which is a new energy vehicle listed in the environmental protection catalog. Insurance-wise, you need to get compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance policies first, and electric vehicles are exempt from purchase tax, saving both money and hassle. The vehicle inspection mainly focuses on environmental and safety standards, which new energy vehicles pass easily. I also applied for a local subsidy, which requires proof of local residence and the car purchase contract. The whole thing took half a day to complete. The government offers great incentives for electric vehicles, and there’s additional support for installing charging stations. Charging will be cheaper in the future, saving a lot on fuel costs. Don’t delay getting your license plate—enjoy the convenience sooner.
