What Types of Vehicles Can Get Green License Plates?
2 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can get green license plates. More details about plug-in hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. Different from traditional hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline power and electric drive, the driving principle and driving unit of plug-in hybrid vehicles are the same as those of electric vehicles. The only difference is that they are equipped with an engine. 2. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively large batteries that can be charged externally. They can drive in pure electric mode and switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) when the battery is depleted, while charging the battery appropriately.
I just bought a new energy vehicle, and the green license plate stands out. These green plates are specifically for new energy vehicles, mainly three types: pure electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell vehicles. Pure electric ones like Tesla and BYD Dolphin run entirely on batteries; plug-in hybrids such as the BYD Tang DM can switch to gasoline when the battery runs out; fuel cell vehicles are rare, like Toyota's hydrogen-powered car. Note that policies require vehicles to be listed in the national new energy vehicle catalog to qualify for green plates—not all electric vehicles can get them. Some imported EVs not in the catalog can't get green plates. Additionally, range must meet standards, like PHEVs needing at least 50 km in pure electric mode. Before buying, check the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's official vehicle list to avoid pitfalls.
