3 Answers
Beijing releases new energy vehicle lottery quotas annually on February 26th. On February 26th, 2020, Beijing allocated a total of 54,200 new energy vehicle quotas. Below are specific details about new energy vehicles: 1. Definition: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional gasoline/diesel fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving systems to form automobiles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. 2. Classification: (1) Hybrid electric vehicles. (2) Pure electric vehicles. (3) Fuel cell electric vehicles. (4) Other new energy vehicles.
I remember a few years ago when my friend applied for a Beijing new energy license plate, the waiting time was three to four years. However, last year the policy was completely adjusted, and in 2023, the old rule of queuing based on application time was abolished. Now, it has been changed to a fixed annual issuance of 20,000 personal quotas, and the system ranks applicants based on factors like family size and years of social security contributions. Most of us who applied last year will likely have to wait until 2025 or 2026 to get our turn, depending on our ranking scores. Currently, the audit results can be checked directly on the Beijing Passenger Car Quota website to see the ranking. I recommend checking the official website announcements regularly, as the list of successful applicants is published before each quota issuance. If you just wait passively, it’s hard to predict the exact year, but those who applied earlier do have a better chance.
I've studied the new rules for Beijing's new energy vehicle (NEV) license plate quotas. Since the 2023 policy update, individual quotas are capped at 20,000 per year, with allocation now determined by family points and personal qualifications. For example, my family of three with five consecutive years of social security contributions ranks in the upper-middle tier, and we expect to obtain our quota by 2026. Single friends with lower points might have to wait until 2027 or later. The government updates the ranking monthly, so don't just wait passively. Also, note that some lucky individuals can get quotas earlier through the car-free family lottery, though the odds are similar to winning a lottery. The old system of queuing by application year no longer exists - it's all about your current points ranking.
