What license plate is required for hybrid electric vehicles?
1 Answers
Hybrid electric vehicles require standard blue license plates for motor vehicles. Unlike plug-in hybrid models, hybrid electric vehicles are classified as energy-efficient vehicles rather than new energy vehicles, hence they can only be registered with blue license plates. The following introduces the types of hybrid electric vehicles: 1. Mild hybrid: Mild hybrids commonly use BSG belt-driven starter/generator technology. For example, the BSG version of Chery A5 (10KW motor) typically saves less than 10% fuel. The motor does not directly participate in driving and is mainly used for starting and recovering braking energy. 2. Medium hybrid: Medium hybrids commonly use ISG crankshaft-mounted starter/generator technology. For example, the Buick LaCrosse Eco-Hybrid (15KW motor) typically saves about 20% fuel. 3. Plug-in hybrid: Plug-in hybrids provide better fuel-saving ratios but consume a certain amount of electricity. For example, test data for the Volkswagen Golf Twin-Drive (130KW motor) shows 8 kWh per 100 kilometers and a fuel consumption of 2.5 liters.
