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.

As someone who frequently follows new automotive regulations, I know that plug-in hybrid vehicles must be issued green license plates. National new energy policies uniformly require such vehicles to have new energy license plates. The distinctive green color stands out, offering benefits including exemption from urban traffic restrictions, eliminating the hassle of queuing; exemption from purchase tax when buying the car, significantly reducing costs; and numerous parking discounts, making it highly practical. Before purchasing, confirm that the vehicle model meets the standards to avoid mistakenly getting a blue plate. Behind this type of license plate is the national trend of encouraging energy conservation. My experience using the car has been convenient and hassle-free, and in the long run, it holds its value better.

I've been using a plug-in hybrid vehicle for several years, and the license plate has always been a green new energy plate, which was directly installed by the dealer when I bought the car. The daily benefits are obvious: no traffic restrictions save time, parking spaces are easier to find, and the license plate color makes the car look more trendy. It saves fuel and money in use. Although the license plate is a small thing, the overall experience is good.

What liquid is inside the intercooler?

The intercooler is installed between the turbocharger and the engine to cool the air entering the engine. It is generally air-cooled, and there is no liquid inside the intercooler. The heat is dissipated by the airflow passing through the intercooler while driving, similar to how a radiator works. Intercoolers are typically found only in vehicles equipped with turbochargers, as they are essentially supporting components for turbocharging, designed to improve the engine's air exchange efficiency. Symptoms of a faulty intercooler include: 1. Reduced power: Increased fuel consumption, slightly higher exhaust temperatures, and black smoke due to incomplete combustion, which over time can lead to significant carbon buildup on the valves and cylinder head. 2. Turbocharger malfunction: The turbocharger may fail to function properly, and oil may leak from the compressor side (though the turbocharger itself is not damaged). 3. Sand ingestion: Sand particles may be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating cylinder wear.

How to Determine if Engine Vibration is Normal?

"Under normal circumstances, car engine vibration should be very smooth and regular. If you can clearly feel that the engine vibration has increased recently, then a fault inspection is required. When the motor vehicle is idling, if the vehicle's accelerator pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel, or gear lever shows vibration, it can be determined as abnormal engine vibration. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the engine has a misfire or incomplete combustion and carry out repairs. If the car engine vibrates more severely than usual while driving, and sometimes there is even a problem with starting the engine, it may be due to a dirty throttle, excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injector or intake tract. In cold conditions, carbon deposits can absorb some fuel, and if the fuel does not completely enter the cylinder for combustion, it can cause unstable idling and difficulty starting."

What is the reason for an automatic transmission not shifting up at 4000 RPM?

If an automatic transmission is running at high RPM without shifting up, it is likely an issue with the vehicle's transmission control module (TCM). You can visit a repair shop to have a technician adjust the module or replace the transmission sensor yourself. Normally, a new automatic transmission car should operate within 4000 RPM. Over time, the engine and gears may experience fatigue, causing the transmission to respond more slowly. If the engine control unit (ECU) has not been reprogrammed, the normal RPM range should remain between 3500-4000 RPM. Additional notes: The transmission's performance also depends on its structure and the current driving speed. Typically, the vehicle model, transmission structure, and engine displacement must be considered to evaluate the transmission's efficiency. However, under normal urban driving conditions, most vehicles operate within 3500-4000 RPM.

Where to Pay for Car Insurance?

Car insurance can be purchased at 4S stores. When the policy is about to expire in the second year, many insurance companies will call to recommend car insurance, and you can choose a suitable insurance company. There are three mandatory types of insurance for cars: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by domestic law, so all car owners must purchase it. If a car is driven on the road without compulsory traffic insurance, the driver will be penalized with points and fines if caught by traffic police. In severe cases, detention may be imposed as it is an illegal act. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance mainly covers damages caused to another vehicle in an accident while driving, with the compensation fully paid by the insurance company. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This refers to a commercial car insurance where the insurer compensates for damages to the insured vehicle caused by an accident while driving, within reasonable limits.
