Regarding the governance of electric vehicles, it is related to the safety of the road, but also related to the impact of hundreds of millions of electric vehicle owners on the road, has been a lot of attention, after all, from the number of points of view, the number of electric vehicles, three-wheeled, four-wheeled models, added together is more than the number of cars, and these different models, they are currently facing management is also different, small connoisseurs to talk about a relatively niche model, that is, small electric tricycles, see how it is currently in the situation.
Speaking of small electric tricycles, its market share in transportation is still relatively low, but its growth is still relatively rapid, according to the sales data of tricycles in 2020, its annual production and sales of 2.2 million vehicles, which is much higher than that of fuel tricycles, and electric tricycles are basically flat.
The reason why its sales are now growing, a big factor is that now the management of electric vehicles is more and more stringent, many places are not allowed to use the old scooter, and the electric tricycle on the road also needs a driver's license, many elderly people choose such a small electric tricycle to use for transportation, but with the standardization of electric tricycles, such cars can really be "unaffected"? Let's start with 2 topics, the first is its "definition of identity" and the second is the necessity of its existence.
From the perspective of identity: is a small electric three-wheeler a motor vehicle?
There are only two kinds of means of transportation, non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles, if they are not non-motorized vehicles, that is motor vehicles, non-motorized vehicles that we can be familiar with include: bicycles that rely purely on human power, tricycles, electric bicycles that meet the standards of non-motorized vehicles, wheelchairs for the disabled, which are clearly included in the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications" implemented on April 15, 2019, and models that do not belong to the scope of this standard are not non-motorized vehicles, then small electric tricycles should belong to motor vehicles.
This means that the seemingly small small electric tricycles, which are actually "motor vehicles" in essence, should also be managed according to the management of motor vehicles, but these small electric tricycles sold on the market and driven on the road are basically not listed in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" catalog, these vehicles can not get the license, and unlicensed, unqualified vehicles, still belong to motor vehicles, theoretically should be banned on the road, will be banned.
Of course, this is only a theoretical operation, the traffic management department is implementing some policies, or will be considered from the perspective of "people-oriented", if the vehicle really has a very necessary sense of existence, it will not be banned, we have a precedent of over-standard electric vehicles, low-speed electric vehicles, then, small electric three-wheelers have the necessity of existence? Let's explore.
From the point of view of necessity: should small electric three-wheelers be banned?
1, small electric three-wheel is almost an "exclusive" means of transportation for the elderly, then, it is unnecessary, it depends on whether it has enough demand, according to the National Health commission on October 15, 2021 released the 2020 National Aging Cause Development Communiqué, the mainland over 60 years old more than 260 million people, it can be seen that from the perspective of the population base, small electric three-wheeler is absolutely marketable.
2, then, compared with other old scooters, small electric three-wheelers, why can it become a means of transportation favored by the elderly, a few important reasons;
(1), the operation is simple, the safety is high, such a small electric three-wheel, it is very simple to operate, the elderly can also learn, and its speed is generally 8 to 15 km / h, the driving speed is slow, making it safer.
(2), the price is cheap, affordable, affordable, the elderly means of transportation, should not be too high price, and small electric three-wheeler only needs the price of an electric bicycle, for the vast majority of the elderly, there is no greater economic pressure to buy a car, maintain a car.
(3), the use of low threshold, easier to go on the road, for the elderly, the driving test is a higher threshold, cars, low-speed electric vehicles need A class C driver's license, the test is more difficult, and electric caravans and electric motorcycles need D, E class driver's license, age is the threshold (the upper limit of the application is 60 years old), then, small electric three-wheeler is currently in many places do not need a driver's license, even if the need for a driver's license, but also a lower threshold F class driver's license, it has no age limit, the test content is also simple, the elderly are easier to hold on the road.
Synthesizing these 3 points, we can see that for the elderly, there is not only a market, but also a demand, then, there is a supply and demand of models, people-oriented perspective to consider, naturally there is no need to ban.
3. From the current governance of electric tricycles and four-wheeled vehicles introduced in various places, in fact, there is no complete ban on the meaning, such as the transition period system issued by Beijing, which is said: from January 1, 2024, after the transition period, illegal electric three- and four-wheeled vehicles are not allowed to drive on the road.
We can "cut the word" to see, which mentions the "illegal" model, and as long as the manufacturer can meet the national standards, it is not a violation, then, it is no longer within the scope of the ban everywhere.
Small connoisseur summary: Finally, small connoisseurs to sum up, first of all, small electric three-wheeler it is not a non-motorized vehicle, this is a misunderstanding of many car owners, although it is small, but still does not meet the standards of non-motorized vehicles, on the road belongs to motor vehicles, and about it will not be banned, from the current provisions, and the relevant departments in the past to formulate policies from the perspective of people-oriented, this model will be completely banned The possibility is not large, this model needs to do: manufacturers to apply for the model of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Directory Announcement, Meet the relevant industry standards, and the owner needs to license it, hold a driver's license on the road, in short, the small connoisseur feels that this kind of car will not be banned, and I should not be banned.
So, do you think small electric three-wheelers should be banned? What do you think of the situation in which it is now on the road without a license or a license? Comments are welcome.
