3 Answers
For the application of a special license plate for new energy vehicles, it is required to provide the vehicle index certification document, the identity card information of the vehicle owner, the purchase invoice, the purchase tax, the motor vehicle whole vehicle factory qualification certificate, and other local required documents to the vehicle management department for application. The following is a detailed introduction about new energy vehicles: Overview: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels and adopt new vehicle power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, forming vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Others: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc. Pure electric vehicles are vehicles that use a single battery as the energy storage power source.
I just bought a new energy vehicle, and the license plate registration process is quite straightforward. Before going, you need to prepare these documents: the original purchase invoice, the vehicle certificate of conformity, a copy of the owner's ID card (both front and back), and the compulsory insurance policy. Once you have all these documents ready, go to the local vehicle management office to queue up and submit your application. New energy vehicles come with many benefits, such as tax exemption policies—no need to pay purchase tax, which saves a good amount of money. After submitting the documents, the staff will arrange for a vehicle inspection, mainly to check if the vehicle meets environmental standards. Once the inspection is done, you can choose a license plate number—either online or on the spot. Picking a number takes some time, but it’s satisfying when you get one you like. Finally, pay the fee, get the license plate, and have it installed. The whole process takes about half a day if all documents are in order, so it’s recommended to go in the morning when there are fewer people and things move faster. Registering a new energy vehicle is quicker than a gasoline car because some places have green channels for priority processing.
I've helped others apply for new energy vehicle license plates several times, and the procedures require careful attention to avoid wasted trips. The main documents include the car purchase invoice, original certificate of conformity, owner's ID card, copy of compulsory traffic insurance policy, and it's best to bring a copy of both sides of the ID card. New energy vehicles are exempt from purchase tax, which is quite convenient. Remember to check the working hours of the vehicle management office online beforehand, as some require appointment booking. After submission, the vehicle inspection focuses on battery safety labels and similar items, and only if everything is in order can you proceed. Common mistakes include forgetting the insurance policy or the certificate of conformity not being stamped, so it's advisable to call ahead to confirm to avoid trouble. If everything goes smoothly, the whole process can be completed in two hours, but during peak times, the queues can be long, so it's recommended to bring some water and snacks. New energy vehicles are energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and driving after getting the plates is absolutely fantastic.
