In recent years, with the continuous growth of the mainland economy, people's requirements for quality of life have also increased, and at the same time, environmental awareness has gradually increased, and the government's attention to environmental protection has also been continuously strengthened. This makes electric vehicles an option for more and more people. Looking around, we will see that even if there are cars in the household, it is likely that one or two electric vehicles will be used as a means of transportation. However, the number of electric vehicles is increasing, and the quality of products is uneven. There are even some electric vehicles that have exceeded the emission standards set by the state. In addition, the bad behaviors of some electric vehicle owners, such as not following traffic rules and parking electric vehicles at will, have also brought bad effects to society and affected the appearance of the city.
In response to this phenomenon, the mainland has strengthened the management of electric vehicles, not only strictly investigating the illegal phenomenon of electric vehicles, but even implementing measures such as banning and arresting vehicles in some places. Faced with such a strict management approach, many EV owners complain. It was thought that this would continue, but this is not the case. Recently, there has been a shift in the governance of electric vehicles, and good news has followed, not only no bans and no fines.
The first good news is that for over-standard electric vehicles, many places will extend the transition period and temporarily do not implement bans and arrests. Many places have adjusted the management policies of electric vehicles that exceed the standard, extending the transition period of the original prohibition and arrest measures. This means that owners of oversized EVs can continue to use their vehicles without penalty. This gives them a respite and gives them more time to address the problem of excess emissions. At present, Shaanxi, Shandong, Tianjin, Hubei, Henan Zhengzhou and other regions have announced this policy. In addition, Anhui Hefei and Lu'an have also set up transition periods for electric three- or four-wheeled vehicles that exceed the standard.
The second good news is that for obsolete models, subsidies are not immediately eliminated, but subsidies. For electric models that have been phased out, more and more parties are beginning to give subsidies. This means that electric vehicle owners can receive a certain financial subsidy by replacing the old car with a new one that meets the national emission standards. This not only encourages electric car owners to actively participate in environmental protection actions, but also provides them with better conditions for purchasing cars. After all, from the perspective of long-term use of over-standard electric vehicles, the later stage must be a trend of elimination, because as the electric vehicle is used for more than 4 years, due to the long age of the car, the over-standard car will inevitably bring safety hazards during the travel process, so local governments call on car owners to take the initiative to replace. At present, Shenzhen has cooperated with a number of electric vehicle brands to launch a replacement and replacement subsidy program. The relevant government has also issued a total of 200 million exchange consumption coupons, which will be launched in three waves. In addition, Kunming and other regions in Yunnan have also adopted a variety of subsidy schemes, such as cycling cards or buses, subways, etc. It is foreseeable that such policies will be gradually expanded and implemented in various cities. Doing so reduces the loss of the car owner and also allows them to really enjoy the benefits.
The third piece of good news is that the management of electric vehicles on the road has become more convenient. The traffic management department has taken various measures to strengthen the management of electric vehicles. It not only cracks down on some electric vehicle owners who do not follow traffic rules by establishing a strict regulatory system, but also improves the convenience of the people in strengthening other road management. Among them, the most concerned is the policy of substituting penalties for management. The policy is mainly aimed at electric vehicles that violate traffic rules, and fines are not the main purpose, but more a warning, persuasion, requiring the person to watch traffic law videos and other ways to reduce the fine. In addition, in some places, the special lanes for electric vehicles have begun to expand, and even in some traffic intersection waiting areas, the traffic management department has also installed equipment such as shelter for electric vehicles, making travel more convenient and providing services for the people.
This series of good news has undoubtedly brought joy and happiness to the owners of over-standard electric vehicles. They no longer have to worry about penalties and impounds and can continue to use their beloved electric vehicles. At the same time, they also have the opportunity to receive financial subsidies through changing cars and contribute to the cause of environmental protection. During this period, the convenience of electric vehicle road management has also provided them with a more convenient user experience. However, we cannot relax the requirements for electric vehicle emission standards, and the existence of electric vehicles that exceed the standard still causes certain pollution to the environment. We still need to strengthen the management and supervision of electric vehicles to ensure that they meet national standards.
