What kind of vehicles have green license plates in China?
2 Answers
In China, vehicles with green license plates are new energy vehicles. The green license plate is a specially designed new type of plate by the government to facilitate differentiated management and quickly distinguish them from traditional fuel vehicles. The format of the green new energy vehicle plate is: regional abbreviation plus area code letter plus letters representing pure electric or hybrid vehicles plus numbers. For small new energy vehicles, the first character of the special license plate uses the letters D or F (D represents pure electric new energy vehicles, F represents plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles that are not pure electric new energy vehicles). For large new energy vehicles, the sixth character of the special license plate uses the letters D or F (D and F represent the same vehicle types as for small new energy vehicle special license plates).
On the road, you often see some cars with green license plates, which in China are mainly a symbol of new energy vehicles. I myself drive a car with a green license plate, a pure electric vehicle, and it feels quite convenient, especially in big cities where the government provides subsidies for buying new energy vehicles, and you can drive without going through a license plate lottery or being restricted by traffic controls. You see, more and more people are switching to these cars because electricity is much cheaper than gasoline, and they're quiet and produce little pollution. However, when I first started driving one, I was also concerned about charging, but now charging stations are everywhere—malls, residential areas—you can charge almost anywhere, and in just about ten minutes, you can get enough charge to drive several hundred kilometers. Overall, green license plate cars represent those electric or hybrid vehicles that are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. If you're also considering buying a car, why not try a new energy vehicle?
