Beijing, a city of nearly 22 million, has enforced a strict quota system on car purchases since 2011 to combat severe congestion and air pollution
Beijing is to offer local households an extra 20,000 license plates to buy electric vehicles (EVs), the capital’s first relaxation of auto ownership restrictions in more than 10 years. The move is seen as an effort to boost domestic EV sales.
The municipal transportation authority said the purchase quota will be available to families who don’t own a car and can only be used to buy purely electric vehicles. A list of those eligible will be published Sunday.
