What color license plate is used for hybrid vehicles?
2 Answers
Hybrid vehicles use blue license plates. License plate colors: License plate colors include white, blue, yellow, and black. Among them, white represents military and police plates, blue represents ordinary passenger cars. Yellow represents ordinary large vehicles, mainly used on vehicles exceeding 6 meters in length, such as medium and heavy trucks, buses, engineering vehicles, driving school vehicles, and commercial vehicles or luxury cars over 6 meters in length. Black represents foreign investors in China, mainly used on exclusive vehicles for foreign enterprises, embassies, or important figures. Classification of license plates: Vehicles can also be divided into military and police license plates (including military and armed police plates) and civilian license plates.
I've been driving a hybrid car for several years, and now there are two types of hybrids in the country: plug-in and non-plug-in. Plug-in hybrids, like those that charge with a plug, are classified as new energy vehicles and come with green license plates, which are very eye-catching. This policy has been in place for a few years and offers many benefits, such as free parking in big cities, no driving restrictions, access to dedicated lanes, and national subsidies like purchase tax exemptions. On the other hand, non-plug-in hybrids have blue license plates just like regular gasoline cars and don't qualify for any incentives. When buying a car, it's important to distinguish between the models and check for a charging port to avoid confusion. I think choosing a plug-in hybrid is quite cost-effective—it saves fuel, is eco-friendly, and reduces expenses. With such supportive policies, we can all benefit. Now that charging stations are becoming more widespread, driving one is much more convenient. It's definitely worth it.
