Are Hybrid Electric Vehicles Eligible for Green License Plates?

Hybrid electric vehicles are not eligible for green license plates; they use blue plates instead. The working principle of hybrid electric vehicles is as follows: they combine fuel with electric power, where the electric motor provides strong torque at low speeds to power the vehicle during initial acceleration, while the internal combustion engine increases its power and torque output as the speed rises, supplying power for mid-to-late stage acceleration. Types of hybrid electric vehicles include: 1. Micro hybrid; 2. Mild hybrid; 3. Medium hybrid; 4. Full hybrid. Examples of vehicles that use hybrid electric technology include the Toyota Prius, Toyota Levin Hybrid, Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Kia Niro, and Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Has the Biannual Vehicle Inspection Been Cancelled?

Automobile biannual inspections have not been cancelled. Below are relevant introductions regarding vehicle annual inspections: Frequency of vehicle annual inspections: Commercial passenger vehicles must undergo inspection once annually within 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years. For vehicles aged between 6-10 years, the inspection frequency is relaxed from annual to biennial inspections - meaning only 2 on-site inspections are required within 10 years (at the 6th and 8th year). Vehicles over 10 years old continue annual inspections. Vehicles exceeding 15 years require semiannual inspections. Inspection considerations: Vehicle lights significantly impact safety. Annual inspections require qualified lighting brightness. Aged lamp covers causing dimming or insufficient battery power affecting brightness will both result in inspection failure.
