Where to Replace a Dead ETC?

[LondonFitz]

When your ETC runs out of power, you can go to an ETC service outlet for replacement. The vehicle owner needs to replace the OBU device, and this replacement is free of charge. The owner can remove their own ETC OBU device and go to the ETC direct sales point in their city to complete the free replacement procedure. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For company vehicles, the required documents are: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle driving license; the vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. How ETC works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reduces wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane's efficiency can theoretically increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
