What are the requirements for purchasing a new energy vehicle in Guangzhou?

[Shawn]

Guangzhou's requirements for purchasing a new energy vehicle are as follows: 1. Proof of residence: The applicant must be a local resident (either with local household registration, or holding a valid residence permit with continuous social insurance and personal income tax payments in Guangzhou for at least 2 years). 2. No purchase record: The applicant must not have any medium or small passenger vehicles registered in Guangzhou, nor any license plate renewal quotas. 3. Hold a valid motor vehicle driver's license. 4. No participation in the lottery: The applicant must not have participated in the license plate lottery in the past two years, and must not have obtained but failed to use a quota (failure to use an obtained quota will result in a 2-year ban from participating in the lottery or bidding).

Last year, I bought a new energy vehicle in Guangzhou, and the whole process went quite smoothly. The main requirements were having a local household registration or a valid Guangzhou residence permit. I opted for the residence permit since I had just graduated and didn’t have a household registration yet. Another condition was not having any other passenger cars registered in Guangzhou under my name. Don’t worry about the license plate lottery—new energy vehicle plate applications can be done directly online. Just fill out a form on the city’s transportation bureau website, simple and fast. You also need a Chinese driver’s license, which is a basic requirement. After purchasing the car, the license plate registration was quick, and I even received a government subsidy of about 5,000 RMB, which saved me a lot of money. Installing the charging station was also convenient, with the residential property management handling it. Daily electricity costs are cheap, saving me hundreds of RMB a month compared to a gasoline car. Overall, the policies are very supportive, and I’d recommend it to friends looking to buy one.

As an environmental advocate, I find buying a new energy vehicle in Guangzhou totally worthwhile. The prerequisite is that you must have a Guangzhou household registration or residence permit, plus a valid driver's license, and no locally registered passenger car under your name. Applying for the quota is completely free and can be done online in just minutes. The key benefit is enjoying the unrestricted driving policy – no traffic jams during rush hours, how awesome! I also received national subsidies and local discounts totaling several thousand yuan, plus lower usage costs with charging stations everywhere and maintenance fees half that of fuel vehicles. In the long run, it reduces pollution while saving money – killing two birds with one stone. Now even running AC in hot weather doesn't make me worry about electricity bills. It's truly the new trend of green travel.

In Guangzhou, the requirements for purchasing a new energy vehicle are just three: local household registration or residence permit, a driver's license, and no Guangzhou-licensed car under your name. Applying for a license plate doesn't require a lottery; just fill out and submit the form online. After purchasing, don't forget to complete the registration procedures. The government provides subsidies, like the 3,000 yuan I saved this month. The charging network is widely covered, making daily use cost-effective.
