What is an electric vehicle? If in a broad sense, many people also call new energy vehicles electric vehicles, and all those driven by "electricity" can be called electric vehicles, but in the mouths of most ordinary people, electric vehicles actually refer to two-wheeled electric vehicles, because two-wheeled electric vehicles are the earliest means of transportation that appear and are popular in China.
Nowadays, electric vehicles are a very common means of transportation on the road, and even two-wheeled electric vehicles, from the appearance point of view, they are also different forms, in the speed, power is a great difference, of which, some electric vehicles, in fact, is no longer a non-motorized vehicle, their management methods, there are also differences.
A netizen asked in a private message that his electric car was actually told that he needed to do an annual inspection, which may be a very new thing for many car owners, but in fact, according to the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications", it is actually not new, so why do electric vehicles also need annual inspection? What standards are needed and how? The little connoisseur makes it clear to everyone at once.
What is an annual inspection?
For electric vehicle owners, for the annual inspection may be relatively unfamiliar, when it comes to annual inspection, most people think of the car, according to the regulations, the car is required at the corresponding time, to carry out annual inspection of the 3 aspects of the vehicle;
1. The aesthetics of the body, including the inspection of the body, engine, chassis and other aspects, whether it is consistent with the initial inspection record;
2. The safety performance of the vehicle, which is also the top priority of the annual inspection, will check the safety of the vehicle's braking, maneuverability, lighting, exhaust and other safety to ensure the safety of driving on the road.
3. The degree of change of the vehicle, the annual inspection will check whether there is a change in the vehicle's modification, change of body, driving license, number plate, etc.
Throughout the country, the annual inspection is a system that guarantees the safety of vehicles, which can play a role in eliminating the potential safety hazards of the vehicle and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents, so does the electric vehicle also need the annual inspection?
What standards do electric vehicles meet that require annual inspection?
Regarding the need for annual inspection of electric vehicles, before the "Cen Xi Public Security" also issued a document to introduce, for electric vehicles that meet certain standards, it is necessary to conduct annual inspections and must not be on the road in violation of the law, and the standard refers to electric vehicles that have reached the "yellow card" or "blue card", which belong to "electric motorcycles".
As mentioned above, electric vehicles are the popular name for two-wheeled electric vehicles, but if they are in the official definition, there is no such model as electric vehicles, what we call electric vehicles, according to the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications" implemented in 2019, in fact, there are 3 classifications.
The first category is the electric bicycle, which belongs to the identity of the non-motorized vehicle, which means that the weight of the vehicle does not exceed 55 kg, the driving speed is not more than 25 km / h, the rated voltage is not more than 48V, and the motor power is not more than 400W.
The second category is electric mopeds, which belong to the identity of motor vehicles, refers to two-wheeled electric vehicles with a speed of 50 km / h and a motor power of no more than 4000W.
The third category is the electric motorcycle, which is also the identity of the motor vehicle, which means that the speed of the vehicle is greater than 50 km / h, the power of the motor can also be greater than 4000W, and the license plate on it is "yellow card", which also requires annual inspection.
In summary, in fact, 2 of the 3 categories of electric vehicles belong to "motor vehicles", and according to Article 11 of the Road Traffic Law: driving a motor vehicle on the road, you should hang the number plate of the motor vehicle, place the inspection pass mark, the insurance sign, and carry the motor vehicle driving license with the car. Therefore, electric motorcycles and electric mopeds need to be inspected annually, so how should the annual inspection of electric vehicles belonging to motor vehicles be handled? The following continues to introduce it to you.
Electric vehicles that meet the annual inspection standards should handle the annual inspection
The time of the annual inspection
Electric vehicles that meet the standards of motor vehicles, it actually belongs to the "motorcycle", the annual inspection method is also consistent with the motorcycle, according to the regulations, the motorcycle implements a 6-year exemption policy.
That is to say, electric vehicles that meet the standards can not be inspected online within 6 years, but need to receive the qualification standards in the 2nd, 4th and 5th years, and if it exceeds 6 years, it is necessary to go to the designated vehicle annual inspection station every year for annual inspection.
The content of the annual inspection
For the electric vehicle annual inspection and motorcycle is still different, motorcycle annual inspection is mainly 3 major items, including the brake system, lighting system, exhaust gas detection, and electric motorcycle, only need to check the brake system, lighting system.
However, in the annual inspection, it is still necessary to ensure that the vehicle can not have modification, installation behavior, including battery, power changes, vehicle canopy, etc., after the end of the annual inspection, take the form to change the business driving license, pay the relevant annual inspection fees, and complete the annual inspection.
Summary: Electric vehicles are no longer only non-motorized vehicles, which is something that many car owners know, but for this type of car also needs annual inspection, there are not many owners who understand, resulting in such a situation, small connoisseurs believe that it is mainly 2 reasons;
Point 1: The implementation time of the new national standard for electric vehicles is not very long, the electric vehicle in the popularity of nearly 20 years, everyone's cognition of it, is to understand that I am a non-motor vehicle, do not need a license, driver's license can be on the road, and the change of this situation, but the implementation of the new national standard is only more than 2 years, everyone for some electric vehicles belong to the "motorcycle", the degree of understanding is not enough.
Point 2: the reason for the life of electric vehicles, before 2019, the annual inspection policy of motorcycles is to register within 4 years, every 2 years need annual inspection, 4 years later is the annual inspection is required every year, but also from June 1, 2019, that is, after the new national standard has just been implemented, the annual inspection of motorcycles will be changed to 6 years to be exempted from the annual inspection, and the life of an electric vehicle, that is, about 5 years, therefore, most electric vehicles, in fact, can not "survive" the need for annual inspection.
Finally, the small connoisseur still has to remind every electric vehicle owner that if the vehicle meets the standard of motor vehicle, more than 6 years need to be inspected annually, and even within 6 years, it is also necessary to receive the annual inspection mark according to the specified time, otherwise, the vehicle does not have an annual inspection mark, and it is found or faces fines, car arrests and other penalties.
