Recently, the National Standards Management Committee of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the Safety Requirements for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Mopeds, the General Technical Requirements for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Mopeds and other related standards for electric motorcycles and electric mopeds, which have been implemented since 20 10 1. According to the new standard, as long as the weight of electric bicycles exceeds 40 kg and the speed exceeds 20 km/h, they must be included in the management of motor vehicles. Drivers must pass several passes such as license plate, driving test and insurance before they can legally get on the road.

This news immediately aroused widespread concern in society. So, has the sales of electric car stores been affected? What do the majority of electric vehicle users, motor vehicle drivers and traffic police departments think about this? Shopkeeper: Sales volume has decreased compared with the past. It is understood that there are no fewer than ten electric vehicle franchise stores in the south of Guang 'an, and the prices range from 2,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan. On the morning of February 27th, 65438, a customer was buying an electric car in an electric car shop in Wansheng West Road, south of Guang 'an. The store said that you don't need a license to buy an electric car now, just register in the store. The boss revealed that the speed of electric cars can now reach 50 km/h, which is similar to that of motorcycles. Subsequently, the reporter went to an electric car store near Chen Xing. The store said that since the news of the electric car test drive came out, many customers who entered the store just looked at it and did not buy it. Everyone is waiting to see, and the sales volume is significantly lower than the previous period. Because of its small size and moderate price, light electric vehicles are very popular among young people and some women. However, the new regulations make these consumers feel that it is too troublesome to test their driver's license and do not buy it. User: It's hard to accept driving test for electric vehicles. At noon on the 28th, 12:30, which is the rush hour. At the intersection of Jian 'an South Road in the south of the city, the reporter saw more than a dozen electric vehicles passing by in just a few minutes. I heard that the new standard requires driving test and insurance, and many electric vehicle users find it difficult to accept it. "I have seen this news on the Internet. According to the new standard, it is really unacceptable to take a driver's license by electric car. If the speed of electric cars is limited to 20 kilometers per hour, it is estimated that no good bicycles can run fast and bring great inconvenience to the public. I bought an electric car as a commuting tool just for convenience and cheapness. If I manage electric bicycles as motor vehicles and buy insurance with my driver's license, then I might as well buy motorcycles directly. " Liu Xiaofeng, who lives in Wansheng West Road, said. Source: Lu originally planned to buy an electric car. After hearing the news that the new standard will be implemented, he shook his head again and again: "I still don't want to buy it, but I have to get a license, take a driver's license and buy insurance. It is not as complicated as taking a bus or taking a taxi. " Mr. Lu also believes that the speed of the electric car itself is not fast. Hanging a license plate on the road is not only complicated, but also prone to traffic accidents. Driver: The new regulations can enhance users' safety awareness. The reporter interviewed some motor vehicle drivers, and they all applauded, saying that the new regulations can enhance the safety awareness of the majority of electric vehicle users and reduce traffic accidents. At the intersection of Guangning, a taxi driver said: "At present, the speed of electric vehicles is relatively fast, and some can reach nearly 50 kilometers per hour. Electric vehicles often drive in the same lane as motor vehicles, which is very prone to traffic accidents. If the electric car is managed as a "motor vehicle", it can obviously enhance the driver's safety awareness and promote the whole traffic order. " Wang Fang, a private car owner, has the same view: "I feel that many electric cars are very fast now, almost like motorcycles, which not only affects the normal driving of cars, but also is very dangerous. Many people who ride electric cars don't know or obey the traffic rules. They don't look at red lights and turn signals. They just rushed forward in the fast lane, completely ignoring the road conditions and potential dangers. Therefore, of course they should be banned. " Traffic Police Department: The new regulations will be beneficial to the overall management of vehicles. The reporter learned from the municipal traffic police department that they have not received any new contents about electric motorcycle management in motor vehicle management. However, judging from the contents of the "new regulations", bringing some electric vehicles into the category of motor vehicles will be beneficial to the overall management of vehicles, enhance drivers' safety awareness and promote the standardization of the whole traffic order. Nowadays, the upcoming "new regulations" for electric vehicles have aroused widespread controversy in society. To see the real effect, we need to wait until it is realized.
