1 Answers
Pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles differ in their first letter: 1. The first letter of a pure electric vehicle license plate is D; 2. The first letter of a hybrid vehicle license plate is F. A pure electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that uses on-board power as its energy source, drives the wheels with an electric motor, and meets all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Hybrid vehicles are categorized into: 1. Series hybrid vehicles that are driven solely by an electric motor; 2. Series-parallel hybrid vehicles that are driven by an electric motor at low speeds and by both the engine and electric motor at higher speeds; 3. Parallel hybrid vehicles where the engine is the main power source and the electric motor serves as an auxiliary power source.
