Shanghai New Energy Vehicle Launches at the End of the Year

In order to encourage the public to use green and new energy vehicles, Shanghai will license new energy vehicles free of charge and will be available at the end of the year. In addition, the quota for new energy vehicles is “one vehicle, one license”. The license plate can only be used for new energy vehicles. After the vehicle is scrapped, its license plate is also invalidated.

In response, a spokesman for the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Port and Shipping said on October 15 that a series of related policy proposals are still being worked out. They also need to go through the approval process and are expected to be approved. Regarding the argument that “the free license plate has a quota of 20,000 vehicles,” the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Port and Shipping responded by saying that the specific quota was far from being finalized. The specific practice must wait for the approval of the plan before making it public.
