According to China Bicycle Association statistics, as of November 2020, the number of electric bicycles in my country has been close to 300 million, which is almost the same as the number of cars, becoming the second most mainstream means of transportation for domestic people. In the early development process, electric vehicles were relatively "free" and unconstrained by rules, which also caused some people to develop bad driving habits and caused many traffic problems.
In order to rectify this chaos, the transportation department has launched a number of measures, and the listing of electric vehicles is the first measure . Since its promotion in pilot cities in 2019, and now popularized across the country, electric vehicle registration has become a must for electric vehicle owners, and "unlicensed" electric vehicles will also be punished on the road. If you observe carefully, you will find that the license plates on different electric vehicles have different colors. Some are white and some are green. What do these different colors mean?
Green license plate
Electric vehicles with this license plate have an obvious feature: does not run fast, and an alarm sounds when the vehicle speed is slightly faster; the vehicle is equipped with pedals. Cars like comply with the new national standards, so they have a green card. To a certain extent, the green card is a "certificate". When the traffic police see a green license plate on your car, they will know that your car is an new national standard electric vehicle .
Five obvious characteristics of the new national standard electric vehicle:
1. The vehicle speed does not exceed 25km/h;
2. The vehicle weight does not exceed 55KG;
3. It has the ability to pedal;
4. The nominal battery voltage is less than or equal to 48V;
5. The rated continuous output power of the motor is less than 400W.
If you want to buy an electric vehicle, you must remember these five standards. Only those that meet these requirements are the new national standard electric vehicles and can have a green license plate. If the standard is exceeded, the green card cannot be issued.
white license plate
This kind of license plate is called a "transitional license plate", which means that these electric vehicles only have a service life of 3 to 5 years. When the time comes for , the vehicles will be taken away for scrap.
Because many people had already purchased electric vehicles before the implementation of the "new national standards", and the standards at that time were different from the current standards. When people buy cars, they still meet the requirements, but after the new standards are introduced, they no longer meet the requirements. But after all, the car owners spent thousands of dollars to buy these cars, and they can still be used. It would be a pity to just throw them away for scrap, so they were given a transition period of 3 to 5 years.
Yellow license plate
Among two-wheeled scooters, the motorcycle has a yellow license plate. If an electric vehicle has a yellow license plate, it means that the car is no longer an electric bicycle. It is an electric motorcycle or an electric motorcycle. Car , this kind of car is actually a motor vehicle in nature.
The maximum speed of electric motorcycles can exceed 50km/h, and the maximum speed of electric light motorcycles does not exceed 50km/h. The motor power of an electric motorcycle can be greater than 4000W, while the motor power of an electric light motorcycle must be greater than 400W and less than 4000W. Their body weight exceeds 55KG, and there is no limit on battery voltage, which clearly exceeds the new national standard for electric vehicles.
It should be noted that electric motorcycles and electric motorcycles require a driver's license to ride on the road. Riding on the road without a driver's license will be regarded as "driving without a license." penalties are quite severe.
Blue license plate
Electric vehicles with blue license plates also belong to the ranks of motor vehicles, but they are different from motorcycles. They are called light two-wheeled motorcycles. Their body weight exceeds 55KG, and their vehicle speed exceeds 50km/h. Cars with blue plates also need a driver's license, so everyone should bear in mind.
Electric license plates are divided in this way in most areas, but some areas have their own standards and have different regulations for electric license plates. For example, in Hunan, before the new national standard, motorcycles had blue license plates. After the implementation of the new national standard, electric bicycles will have green license plates, while other vehicles will still have blue license plates.
Summary:
Electric vehicle registration is to accurately locate the owner’s information and facilitate the management of electric vehicles.Nowadays, electric vehicle registration has become widely popular. If your car has not yet been registered, remember to go to the vehicle management office or local police station to hang up the license plate, otherwise your driving on the road will be affected.
