Recently, a new notice on the management of electric vehicles has attracted widespread attention in Zhengzhou. According to the previous regulations, the period of use of yellow plate electric vehicles in Zhengzhou was originally scheduled to end on December 31, 2023. However, as 2023 draws to a close, there is a great deal of concern about the future fate of yellow plate electric vehicles.
In response to this situation, the relevant departments of Zhengzhou issued the latest notice, announcing that the transition period for yellow card electric vehicles will be extended. In the notice, the need to strengthen the management of electric vehicles was clearly emphasized, and after in-depth research and discussion in combination with the specific situation of Zhengzhou City, it was decided to extend the transition period for yellow card electric vehicles, which was originally scheduled to expire on November 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024. This means that yellow-licensed EV users in Zhengzhou can continue to use their vehicles for one year.
However, the traffic management department has clear regulations on the management measures after the expiration of the transition period. At the end of the transition period, electric vehicles that exceed the standard will be banned from the road. It is worth noting that not only Zhengzhou, but also many regions across the country will also end the transition period for over-standard electric vehicles on December 31, 2023.
For these areas, how to manage over-standard electric vehicles after the end of the transition period, different coping strategies have also been given. Among them, the Zhejiang Provincial Traffic Police Department clearly stipulates that non-standard electric vehicles that have been officially filed for seven years shall not continue to drive on the road. At present, the traffic police are actively persuading the owner to scrap non-standard electric vehicles, for non-standard electric vehicles on the road in violation of regulations, the following three ways will be taken: the first discovery will be given a verbal warning;The second investigation will result in a fine of $300,500;The third investigation will directly detain the car and scrap it.
In addition to Zhejiang Province, Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Luliang in Shanxi, Guizhou Province and other places have also clearly stipulated that the transition period for over-standard electric vehicles will end on December 31, 2023. After the end of the transition period, electric vehicles with temporary license plates will not be allowed to drive on the road, otherwise they will face corresponding penalties.
There are currently two main views on the management of over-standard electric vehicles. One view advocates extending the transition period for over-standard electric vehicles, arguing that the direct elimination of over-standard electric vehicles will cause property losses to car owners and is a waste of resources. In fact, a number of regions have chosen to extend the transition period for EVs that exceed the standard, usually for two to three years.
Another view is in favour of stricter regulations on over-standard electric vehicles, as in Shandong. After the end of the transition period for over-standard electric vehicles, Shandong allows over-standard electric vehicles to continue to drive on the road, but does not impose penalties and detain vehicles, which has been widely supported by the majority of car owners.
Public perceptions of these two types of management are mixed. Some people think that extending the transition period is more humane and can reduce the financial pressure on car owners;Others believe that strict management can better ensure road traffic safety and avoid traffic accidents caused by over-standard electric vehicles.

Therefore, we need to fully consider the interests of all parties and find the most balanced and effective solution. Let us all pay attention to and participate in the discussion of this important topic, and contribute to building a safer and more orderly urban transportation environment.
