What are the requirements for new energy vehicle license plate registration in Shenzhen?

Here is an introduction to the requirements for new energy vehicle license plate registration in Shenzhen: 1. Shenzhen residents only need a driver's license, while non-Shenzhen residents require a Shenzhen residence permit, continuous 2-year Shenzhen social security, and a driver's license. 2. The vehicle owner must not have any cars registered under their name with Shenzhen license plates or vehicles that have been scrapped but not deregistered. Having such vehicles disqualifies the owner from obtaining a Shenzhen license plate for their new energy vehicle. 3. The vehicle owner must not have any valid license plate quotas or be eligible for quota renewal applications. This means the owner cannot have any vehicles already registered with Shenzhen license plates. If they already have a vehicle with a Shenzhen license plate, they cannot obtain another Shenzhen license plate for their new energy vehicle. 4. After meeting the above three conditions, when applying for the license plate, the vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle. Only when the vehicle passes the inspection (no modifications, no major accidents, and all audit materials are qualified) will the vehicle be eligible for license plate registration.

I just finished licensing my new energy vehicle in Shenzhen and want to share some practical tips. Currently, Shenzhen has two types of NEV license plates: green D plates for pure electric vehicles and green F plates for plug-in hybrids. Local Shenzhen residents can apply directly, while non-locals need both a residence permit and 24 consecutive months of social security payments. The vehicle must be listed in the national new energy catalog, with mainstream brands like Tesla and BYD being eligible. While a charging pile certificate isn't mandatory, it's advisable to prepare proof of fixed parking space installation in advance. From my experience, the key is having complete documentation - especially for non-local applicants who must verify there are no gaps in their social security payments. I almost got held up due to a two-month gap in my records.

Recently studying Shenzhen's new energy vehicle license plate policy, the key points are three: identity requirements, vehicle standards, and license plate types. Local household registration is the most convenient, while non-local residents must hold a residence permit and have paid social insurance continuously for two years. The vehicle model must be a pure electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle listed in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's new energy vehicle recommendation catalog. Special reminder: hybrid vehicles can only get green F plates, while pure electric vehicles get green D plates. Since last year, it's no longer mandatory to provide proof of charging pile installation, though having fixed charging facilities is better. For documents, prepare your ID card, car purchase invoice, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and tax payment certificate. The whole process can be completed in half a day at the vehicle management office.

The new energy vehicle license plate registration in Shenzhen is actually quite strict. Local residents can directly apply with their ID cards, while non-local residents need a residence permit and uninterrupted social insurance for two years. The vehicle must be purely electric or plug-in hybrid; hybrid vehicles without charging capability are not eligible for green plates. The good news is that a charging pile certificate is no longer required, which simplifies the process. Before registration, make sure to obtain the vehicle qualification certificate and purchase invoice, and have the insurance purchased in advance. For corporate license plates, additional documents like the business license and official seal are required. It's advisable to book an appointment in advance through the traffic police's official WeChat account, as the on-site queues are extremely long, and without an appointment, you might end up making a wasted trip.
