On the morning of December 24, the 25th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress held a joint group meeting to inquire about the report of the law enforcement inspection team of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on inspecting the implementation of the work safety law and the report on inspecting the implementation of the road traffic safety law. During the meeting, the traffic control of electric bicycles, electric tricycles and low-speed electric vehicles was raised by the representative member Lang Sheng on the spot, and received inquiries from the State Administration for Industry and commerce, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the Ministry of public security.

National standards and testing conditions will be formulated for electric tricycles and low-speed electric vehicles (four-wheel vehicles), focusing on safety.

This is proposed by Miao Wei, Minister of industry and information technology. It is predicted that this standard will be issued and implemented within three years. The new standard will focus on the management of safety related components such as frame, shock absorption and brake. The quality of electric tricycles and four-wheel vehicles will be improved, and the cost and price will be increased accordingly.

Electric vehicles exceeding the standard must be licensed, and drivers must take a driver's license.

This is also proposed by Miao Wei, Minister of industry and information technology. Electric vehicles that meet the standard will have special lanes, and it is a foregone conclusion that electric vehicles that exceed the standard will be managed according to motor vehicles. The requirement for drivers to take a driver's license reduces the sales of excessive vehicles to a certain extent.

Even electric vehicles that meet the standards may not be on the road, and local governments have the right to formulate management systems.

This was also proposed by Miao Wei, Minister of industry and information technology. In the future, the management power of electric vehicles still lies with the local government. The state is responsible for formulating standards, and the local government decides the right of way.

For electric vehicles that have been purchased and put on the road, a transition period of 3-5 years shall be set.

This policy can appease the users who have purchased electric vehicles and can be used for at least 3-5 years, that is, they can't buy them after scrapping. Of course, if you can ride an electric car after five years, the government can spend money to buy it or subsidize it.
