What does the green license plate represent?
2 Answers
Green license plates represent exclusive license plates for new energy vehicles, used to quickly distinguish between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. The license plate number consists of 7 digits, with the first digit being the abbreviation of the province or municipality, the second digit being the abbreviation of the provincial-level city, and the third to seventh digits being a combination of numbers and letters. The functions of the license plate number: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To access the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate. Types of license plate numbers: 1. White plates represent military or police plates; 2. Blue plates represent ordinary small vehicles with fewer than 7 seats; 3. Yellow plates represent ordinary large vehicles; 4. Black plates represent foreign investors in China.
I've been very interested in car identification recently, especially the green license plates, which indicate that the vehicle is a new energy vehicle, such as a pure electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid. The government introduced this policy in 2016, mainly to distinguish traditional fuel vehicles and encourage people to switch to environmentally friendly transportation. I think the advantages of green-plate vehicles are low emissions and low noise, making them quiet and cost-effective to drive, with electricity costs being much lower than gasoline expenses. In some cities, green-plate vehicles can also avoid traffic restrictions and purchase limitations, and parking in public lots is free. Although charging infrastructure is still being improved, with technological advancements, the driving range is getting longer, and driving a green-plate vehicle has become a fashionable choice. Choosing a green-plate vehicle not only reduces environmental pollution but also saves owners a lot on daily expenses.
