What is the policy for transferring ownership of new energy vehicles?
2 Answers
Consumers who purchase new energy vehicles and obtain free special license plate quotas are subject to a one-vehicle-one-plate policy, with no license plate return services available. Additionally, the vehicle cannot be transferred or ownership changed within three years from the date the special license plate quota is activated. Below is a relevant introduction to new energy vehicles: Advantages: Compared to traditional fuel vehicle technology, new energy vehicle technology effectively reduces emissions, improves fuel utilization, lowers usage costs, and offers the benefits of smooth operation and low noise. However, new energy technology is still in the exploration and development phase, placing extremely high demands on current battery technology, precision mechanical and electronic control technology, and various supporting facilities. Application Scope: New energy vehicle technology primarily reflects the upgraded national emission standards, including fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and solar-powered vehicles, mainly used to replace petroleum resources and control emission pollution.
As an automotive enthusiast, let me talk about the transfer policies for new energy vehicles. In China, the transfer process for buying and selling used new energy vehicles is quite convenient. You need to bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, original invoice, and insurance policy to the DMV to complete the procedure. The key point is that the green license plate automatically carries over, and the original purchase tax exemption policy is transferred to the new owner without any hassle. The transfer process is usually faster than for fuel-powered vehicles because policies encourage the promotion of new energy vehicles, reducing wait times. After the transfer, pay attention to subsidy issues, as local subsidies in some areas may be adjusted—new owners should check the latest terms online. Also, ensure the vehicle has no traffic violation records, or the process will be delayed. I recommend a comprehensive vehicle inspection before the transfer, especially checking the battery life, as this directly affects the used car's value—don’t cut corners. Battery health is a critical factor, and the transfer record impacts the warranty period.
