Which indicator should I choose for my first license plate lottery?

Choose a small passenger car. More extended information is as follows: Overview: Obtaining an indicator through the lottery refers to acquiring a vehicle purchase quota via the lottery method, then purchasing a motor vehicle and completing the registration process. Others: Individuals can only obtain one application code, while the number of application codes for organizations is determined according to Article 11 of this method. One application code can only select one type of indicator allocation method. Individuals and organizations wishing to withdraw from the incremental indicator allocation must submit their request before the 20th of the allocation month. To change the application type or allocation method, the original application must be withdrawn before submitting a new one. Applications submitted after the 9th of each month will be included in the next month's indicator allocation.

I've recently looked into the lottery for vehicle license plates for the first time. If it's your first time participating, you need to consider your daily driving needs. For example, if you mainly commute in the city, driving a few dozen kilometers to and from work, then the new energy vehicle (NEV) quota is a great deal. It's designed for electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, where electricity costs are much lower than fuel prices. Charging stations are becoming more widespread, and with a charging app, it's easy to manage. Over a year, you can save a significant amount of money, not to mention the exemption from purchase tax and generous government subsidies. However, if you frequently travel long distances or are in areas where charging is inconvenient, the regular (fuel-powered vehicle) quota is more practical, offering faster refueling and widespread repair services. Personally, I recommend choosing the NEV quota for your first attempt, as the success rate might be higher. Just keep in mind that the rules change annually, so stay updated with official announcements and don't panic.
