Plug-in hybrid and pure electric differ in the following aspects: 1. Different powertrain systems: Plug-in hybrids are equipped with not only an electric motor and battery but also an internal combustion engine, where the electric motor serves as auxiliary power; pure electric vehicles have only one powertrain system, which is entirely powered by rechargeable batteries. 2. Charging requirements differ: Plug-in hybrids do not require charging; pure electric vehicles must be charged. 3. Different first letter on license plates: The first letter of a plug-in hybrid's license plate is F; for pure electric vehicles, it is D. The functions of license plates are: 1. To number and register vehicle information; 2. To identify the vehicle's region of registration; 3. To trace the vehicle owner and registration details based on the license plate.

Can the driver's license test be postponed?

The driver's license test cannot be postponed once it expires. Here are some important notes about taking the driver's license test: The second subject test mainly focuses on "points": As long as you master the key points, stay focused and not nervous when getting in the car, and practice for a while, you can grasp the essentials. When others are practicing, reflect on your own shortcomings and actively communicate with others to learn from their strengths. The third subject is the road test: Especially when driving on roads with many people and vehicles, you need to be extra careful, observe the situation outside the car more, don't be nervous, and just follow the procedures and instructions. Luck also plays a big role in the third subject. Some people are blocked by incoming vehicles when they are about to reach the finish line because those vehicles may not follow the rules or yield proactively.

Is there any problem if I don't pick up my driver's license for a long time?

Here are the relevant details: Other vehicle classes: For other initially issued driver's license classes, the license can be renewed within 90 days before the expiration date (every 6 years). That is, counting from the initial issuance date on the license, the license can be retrieved and renewed within three months before the expiration date. Cancellation: The driver's license will not expire due to not being picked up, as long as the submission of physical condition certificates (annual review) and renewal procedures are processed on time.

What Causes the Key Light to Illuminate?

When the key warning light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates a fault in the car's anti-theft system or an issue with the car key. Anti-theft system activation: If the remote key moves out of the vehicle's control range before the engine is turned off or the power is fully shut down, the vehicle's anti-theft system will activate, causing the anti-theft indicator light to flash. This is a normal phenomenon. The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent the loss of the vehicle itself or items inside. There are five types of car anti-theft systems: key-controlled, remote-controlled, alarm-based, anti-theft alarm-based, and electronic tracking anti-theft. Low key battery: An unstable remote key signal may cause the key indicator light to flash continuously. This situation is usually caused by low battery power in the key, which triggers a dashboard warning. It is recommended to replace the key battery and clean the battery contacts.
