Straight to the scene
Within 10 minutes, multiple car owners were fined
On April 29, at the site of the special rectification action of electric vehicles at the intersection of Zhongshan Balukou, about 10 minutes, the traffic police issued fines to a number of illegal electric vehicle owners, many of whom were for illegally installing middle boxes for electric vehicles.
"Your car is registered without a middle box, which is an addition, and this is originally a pedal position. The traffic police stopped an electric car owner and punished him according to law, fined 50 yuan, and asked the owner to restore the original state within 15 days, "If the investigation and punishment after 15 days does not restore the original state, we will detain your electric car according to the law."
The owner Wang Jun (pseudonym) told reporters that he did not have a box when he bought an electric car, and later found that there were more sundries on the car, so he asked someone to modify the original pedal position of the electric car and installed a middle box, "It is more convenient to put idle sundries."
After receiving the fine, he said that after paying the fine, he dismantled the middle box, "I didn't know that this was a violation before".

"Take my wife to run errands. The owner said that he did not know that electric vehicles could not carry people, but only knew that he had to wear a helmet and could not go against the road when riding an electric car, "My wife did not wear a helmet because it was raining that day, and the helmet in the box was wet."
Since the owner of the car has no violation record within half a year, the traffic police warned and educated him.
Serious illegal modifications
The traffic police will directly impound the car
For some more serious illegal modifications, such as batteries with a volt of more than 48 volts and a power of more than 400 watts, the traffic police will directly detain the car, and cooperate with the market supervision department to carry out source management of sales stores and maintenance shops.
Officer Huang of the Liwan Brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau told reporters that 15 people from the traffic police brigade were dispatched to the special rectification operation, and a total of more than 50 cases were punished for electric vehicles going against the road, running red lights, illegally carrying people and illegal modifications from the morning rush hour.
