2 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles require green license plates. Below is more information about plug-in hybrid vehicles: 1. A plug-in hybrid vehicle is a type of car that falls between an electric vehicle and a fuel-powered vehicle. It has both the traditional fuel car components like the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel lines, and fuel tank, as well as electric vehicle components such as the battery, motor, control circuits, and a battery capacity that can sustain pure electric mode for a certain distance, along with a charging port. 2. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have an electric motor, which works together with the engine to provide power during full acceleration, giving plug-in hybrid vehicles strong acceleration capabilities.
I just bought a plug-in hybrid car, and it comes with one of those green new energy license plates. In China now, it's mandatory for plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles to have these green plates, which are completely different from the regular blue plates—much brighter and more eye-catching. There are quite a few benefits: for example, in some big cities with traffic restrictions, green-plate cars are exempt, which saves me a lot of detour time during my daily commute in Beijing. When purchasing the car, I also didn’t have to pay the purchase tax, saving both money and hassle. Occasionally, there are parking discounts too, making it feel like a great deal. In daily driving, this license plate isn’t just a marker—it represents an eco-friendly mindset. I save on fuel costs, and the electric drive portion is highly efficient in the city. If I ever switch to another plug-in hybrid, I won’t have to worry about the license plate at all, as the policy support is strong, and the overall experience has added a lot of enjoyment.
