On April 15, 2019, the new national standard for electric vehicles was introduced, which divided the electric vehicles on the market into three types, 48 volts for electric bicycles, 60 volts for electric mopeds, and 72 volts and above for electric motorcycles. The previous electric vehicles were classified as non-standard vehicles, and temporary license plates can continue to be used, and many places have extended the transition deadline for non-standard electric vehicles to December 31, 2023, that is, the end of last year.
The expiration of the transition period also means that electric vehicles with temporary license plates will not be able to continue to drive on the road, and if they continue to drive non-standard vehicles and are found by the traffic police, the vehicle will be confiscated, and they may be punished accordingly. Especially this year, the management of electric vehicles is becoming more and more strict, and if you don't pay attention to the vehicle, you may be temporarily impounded or punished. So the transition period of non-standard electric vehicles expires, what kind of electric vehicles are legal and compliant, and they are not afraid of traffic police investigation?
