Recently, the question of whether over-standard electric vehicles can continue to be on the road has become the focus of attention of the majority of electric vehicle owners. Especially in Jiangsu, Tianjin and other cities where the transition period of over-standard electric vehicles is coming to an end, car owners are even more anxious. So, can the over-standard electric vehicles in these cities still be on the road?
As a major province of electric vehicles, Jiangsu Province has a large number of electric vehicles, so it also faces strict regulations. Starting from April 15, 2019, Jiangsu has set a five-year transition period for over-standard electric vehicles, which means that from April 15, 2019 to April 15, 2024, these over-standard electric vehicles can still drive normally on the road after filing and registering and hanging temporary license plates. However, as the transition period draws to a close, 13 cities in Jiangsu have introduced their own plans for the disposal of over-standard electric vehicles.
Among them, Yancheng has adopted a humanized subsidy program to encourage car owners to take the initiative to eliminate and exchange for over-standard electric vehicles; Suzhou has clearly stipulated the penalty clause for over-standard electric vehicles on the road in violation of regulations, with a fine of 200-500 yuan; while Yangzhou has followed the principle of "easy first and then difficult, echelon elimination, and centralized exchange", and has formulated a detailed elimination schedule.
At the same time, Tianjin is also facing the end of the transition period for over-standard electric vehicles. According to the latest news released by the relevant departments of Tianjin, from May 8 this year, Tianjin will prohibit all electric bicycles with "yellow cards" from driving on roads within the administrative area. This means that those over-standard e-bikes that are classified as "yellow card" will no longer be allowed to drive on any roads in Tianjin. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those owners who already have over-standard electric vehicles. However, for the city management department, this is in response to the national policy on the management of electric vehicles, but also to ensure road safety and traffic order.
In the face of the elimination of over-standard electric vehicles, although the treatment methods are different in various places, the purpose is to ensure the safety and order of road traffic. So, as car owners, how should we look at this?
First of all, we need to understand what an over-standard electric vehicle is. Generally speaking, most of the over-standard electric vehicles were produced before 2019, and their license plate colors are mostly white or red, which is different from the green license plate installed on the new national standard electric bicycle. In addition, over-standard electric vehicles do not meet the requirements of the new national standard in terms of vehicle speed limit, vehicle weight, maximum battery voltage, etc. Therefore, these vehicles have great potential safety hazards and need to be eliminated in time.
Secondly, as car owners, we need to actively respond to the government's call to actively understand and comply with relevant traffic laws. For the elimination of over-standard electric vehicles, we should actively cooperate with the government's work and replace or scrap them in accordance with the specified time node. At the same time, when buying a new car, we must also choose a vehicle that meets the requirements of the new national standard to ensure our own safety and legal on the road.
Finally, we need to strengthen our own awareness of traffic safety. Whether we are driving an over-standard electric vehicle or a new national standard electric vehicle, we should abide by traffic rules and pay attention to driving safety. During driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the road conditions and the dynamics of surrounding vehicles to avoid traffic accidents.
To sum up, for the majority of electric vehicle owners. It's important to understand and comply with the EV road policy. Car owners in the corresponding area should pay attention to policy developments in time to ensure that the vehicle is on the road compliantly. Vehicles that are prohibited from being on the road should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid penalties or scrapping. So, what do you think about this topic?
