The process for obtaining a license plate for a new energy vehicle is as follows: 1. Make an appointment with the vehicle management office and select a time slot, then pre-select the license plate number online; 2. Bring all the required documents to the selected vehicle management office at the scheduled time to proceed with the application, submit the materials, and fill out the motor vehicle registration application form; 3. Undergo vehicle inspection and complete the motor vehicle inspection record form; 4. After the inspection, submit all the documents at the service hall and finally receive the new energy vehicle license plate for registration. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, integrating advanced technologies in power control and driving systems, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures.
I bought a new energy vehicle last year, and the license plate registration process was actually quite convenient, mainly divided into several steps: First, prepare the required documents, including the car purchase invoice, ID card, vehicle certification, and the new energy vehicle-specific certificate. Bring all these to the vehicle management office. Next is the vehicle inspection, where staff will check the battery and motor condition. Since there are no emissions issues, this step is simplified. Then, submit the application and choose a license plate number on the self-service machine—I picked a combination I liked. Finally, pay a small fee, and the green license plate is installed. The whole process took me less than three hours. I heard you can also make an online appointment to skip the queue. By the way, the new energy license plates are green with white characters—eye-catching and eco-friendly, easy to spot when parked. Many places exempt them from lotteries, and after the government promoted electric vehicle policies, the process became smoother, with fees halved. Newcomers shouldn’t worry.
