2021 Nanjing electric vehicle license plate registration requirements are as follows: 1. The electric bicycle must comply with the new national standard and have obtained a CCC certification certificate; 2. The following materials must be brought to the registration point for processing: personal identity proof (if a proxy is involved, a power of attorney and the proxy's identity proof are also required), purchase invoice (paper or electronic), vehicle qualification certificate, and the vehicle must be presented for inspection. Additional information is as follows: 1. The new national standard has added technical indicators: The new national standard includes technical indicators such as anti-tampering, fire resistance, flame retardancy, and charger protection; it has also adjusted and improved technical indicators like speed limits, total vehicle weight, and pedal riding capability, with particular emphasis on adding fire resistance and water resistance as safety indicators. 2. A new national standard electric bicycle: has two wheels, two pedals, one lithium battery, one seat, a maximum speed not exceeding 25 KM/H, a total vehicle weight including the battery of less than 55 KG, and a motor power not exceeding 400W.
I just registered my electric bicycle in Nanjing in 2021, and the whole process was simple but required attention to some details. You must be at least 18 years old and bring the original and photocopy of your ID card, along with the vehicle qualification certificate and purchase invoice—these are the key documents. The vehicle itself must comply with the new national standards, such as a maximum speed not exceeding 25 km/h and a motor power below 400W. In Nanjing, it's best to make an appointment in advance using the 'Nanjing Traffic Police' APP to reduce waiting time; I went to the local vehicle management office and it took about 30 minutes to complete. A reminder to everyone: don’t forget to purchase third-party liability insurance—it’s not mandatory but very useful in case of an accident. Additionally, the bike must have pedal-assist functionality, and modified ones might not pass inspection. It’s advisable to check all documents in advance to avoid a wasted trip.
