New policy enables car registration for high-level talents in Hainan

The CPC Hainan Provincial Committee Talent Office and the Public Security Department of Hainan Province jointly issued measures for the trial implementation of priority registration of passenger cars among high-level talents in Hainan province.

The measures aim to provide incentives to attract talents working in industries contributing to furthering provincial development, improve the mechanisms safeguarding and protecting high-level talents, and offer convenience to them through self-service offerings.

Those considered master talents, outstanding talents, leading talents, and top-notch talents can apply for direct car ownership registration. Other high level talents can obtain car ownership registration by queued online for the quality.

Master talents and outstanding talents introduced to Hainan without a local registered permanent residence have the same rights as those live in Hainan considered as same-level talents, while leading, top-notch and other talents introduced to Hainan need to queue online for a car increment index.

New energy vehicles will be given priority in the measures and passenger car regulation matters are the responsibility of the management agencies where the talents' employers are located.

To promote green development, the island province started to control the number of new cars by setting registration quotas starting last August.

License plates for new cars, except new-energy ones, can only be obtained by a lottery-style system or bidding. 

The island province has 9.3 million people and about 1.18 million vehicles. It plans to introduce 5,600 new energy vehicles into the market this year and build 940,000 recharging posts by 2030 to meet rising demand for clean energy vehicles. 

The province announced a ban on oil-fueled automobile sales this year that will go into effect by 2030. At that time, all vehicles in Hainan will run on new energy as it planned.
