Which Models Can Get Green License Plates?
2 Answers
Only pure electric vehicles are eligible for green license plates. Here are the specific advantages of green-plate vehicles: Energy Efficiency of Green-Plate Vehicles: The reason new energy vehicles are energy-efficient is that electric motors are far more efficient than internal combustion engines. Electricity costs are significantly lower than gasoline expenses, and lower energy consumption directly translates to reduced daily vehicle operating costs. Additionally, considering the non-renewable nature of petroleum fuels, the significance of using new energy vehicles becomes even greater. Quick Acceleration of Green-Plate Vehicles: They start instantly without any delay—just turn the key and go. In acceleration mode within 100 kilometers, they can cover more distance than conventional fuel-powered vehicles. You can turn on the air conditioning as soon as you get in the car, and with no transmission, the driving experience is perfectly smooth.
Last year I just switched to a green-plate car, mainly focusing on plug-in hybrids and pure electric models. Popular high-sales models like BYD's Qin PLUS DM-i and Han EV all qualify for green plates. Pure electric representatives also include Tesla Model 3 and XPeng P7, while domestic brands like GAC Aion and Zeekr 001 are also quite hot. Plug-in hybrid options include the range-extender Li ONE and Changan Deepal SL03. When choosing a car, battery range and charging convenience are key factors. Currently, policy incentives are significant, offering purchase tax savings and exemption from license plate lottery. However, charging station distribution varies greatly between cities. I recommend trying shared cars first to gain experience before blindly following trends to choose the most expensive option. I believe test driving before deciding helps avoid buyer's remorse.
