Where is the license plate with 'Zhe N' from?
3 Answers
Currently, there is no license plate with 'Zhe N'. The current license plates for various regions in Zhejiang Province are as follows: Zhe A is Hangzhou City, Zhe B is Ningbo City, Zhe C is Wenzhou City, Zhe D is Shaoxing City, Zhe E is Huzhou City, Zhe F is Jiaxing City, Zhe G is Jinhua City, Zhe H is Quzhou City, Zhe J is Taizhou City, Zhe K is Lishui City, Zhe L is Zhoushan City. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial administrative region, the second is a letter representing the code for the prefecture-level administrative region, and the last five characters consist of Arabic numerals or English letters. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of vehicles, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
The 'Zhe' at the beginning of the license plate definitely stands for Zhejiang, just like the common license plates you see on the road. I know that in Zhejiang's license plate system, letters from A to L represent different cities: Hangzhou is A, Ningbo is B, Wenzhou is C, Shaoxing is D, Huzhou E, Jiaxing F, Jinhua G, Quzhou H, Taizhou J, Lishui K, and Zhoushan L. Currently, 'Zhe N' might not exist in the standard codes and could be temporary plates for newly added areas or special vehicles like new energy vehicles. If your friend mentioned a 'Zhe N' license plate, they might have mistaken it for a district in Ningbo, but in reality, the city codes have been fixed for many years. As an experienced driver, I suggest checking the latest information directly on the Zhejiang Traffic Police official website—it's much better than guessing.
When I first got my driver's license, I researched these license plate issues. 'Zhe' directly refers to Zhejiang Province, and the following letters correspond to cities. For example, A is for Hangzhou's main urban area, and B is for Ningbo. As for the letter N, it's not found in Zhejiang's official list, so N might just be a misunderstanding or an unused code. When you're a new driver, don't focus too much on these details; the key is to pay attention to road conditions and drive safely. If you really come across a Zhe N license plate, it's probably a used car from a remote area or a temporary plate. Just take a photo and ask the local vehicle management office to clarify.
