    I think the expensive licence plates are only for ICE cars and not for EVs? It’s to combat pollution. Many Chinese cities also have good public transit

      Yes, electric cars are exempt from the registration games. But with China’s huge population, even if 80% of the city takes public transportation, that 20% who choose to drive still have enough cars to jam up the roads so they come up with these kinds of schemes to reduce traffic.
