What Types of Vehicles Can Use Green License Plates?

[LaMiguel]

Vehicles eligible for green new energy license plates include pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles require charging, whereas conventional hybrid vehicles do not need separate battery charging. Plug-in hybrid vehicles must have a pure electric driving range exceeding 50 kilometers per hour to qualify for national subsidies. Relevant information about vehicle license plates is as follows: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates affixed to the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other related information. 2. Function: License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles, primarily enabling the identification of the vehicle's registered region and facilitating access to the owner's details and registration information through the plate number.

Green license plates are mainly for new energy vehicles. The BYD Han I'm driving now has a green plate. Pure electric vehicles can definitely get green plates, as long as they can run on their own when fully charged without using fuel. Plug-in hybrids can also get them, like my neighbor's Li ONE, which can be charged externally and also use fuel to generate electricity. Fuel cell vehicles are rare, but models like the Toyota Mirai that use hydrogen are now considered new energy. Regular hybrid vehicles don't qualify; non-plug-in hybrids like the Accord Hybrid can only get blue plates. Green-plated vehicles aren't subject to traffic restrictions and save money on charging. I save over a thousand yuan on fuel every month. Before buying, I recommend checking the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "New Energy Vehicle Catalog," which lists all compliant models.

Green license plate vehicles are divided into three major categories: pure electric vehicles like Tesla, which are entirely powered by batteries; plug-in hybrids like the BYD Qin, with charging ports on the side of the body and a pure electric range exceeding 50 kilometers; and fuel cell vehicles, which are currently mostly commercial vehicles. I just researched the new policy, and regular hybrids are not considered new energy vehicles and cannot get green license plates. The key is to check the 'energy type' column on the vehicle registration certificate, which must state 'pure electric' or 'plug-in hybrid.' Green license plate vehicles in cities with license plate restrictions don't need to participate in the lottery, and they also enjoy reduced parking fees. A little-known fact is that some cities issue special green license plates to electric vehicles owned by rental companies, which differ in style from those for private cars.

Green license plate vehicles must meet new energy standards. Pure electric models like the NIO ET5 are commonly seen with green plates, while plug-in hybrids such as the Volvo XC60 New Energy must also satisfy battery range requirements. Conventional hybrids like the Lexus ES300h can only use blue plates. The distinction is simple: only vehicles with charging ports can qualify for green plates. During test drives, I noticed that plug-in hybrids have charging ports in visible locations on the body, which gasoline vehicles lack. When transferring ownership of used cars, it's important to note that green plate vehicles have 'New Energy' marked on their title certificates.
