到2030年，海南将实现公共服务、商业运营及私人新增和更换车辆100%为新能源车，此举标志着中国交通脱碳迈出里程碑式一步，也依托于海南独特的地理气候优势与完善的基础设施布局。
By 2030, 100 percent of new and replacement cars must be NEV.
到2030年，百分之百的新车和更换车辆必须是新能源车。
The southern island province of Hainan's goal to become China's first region to halt sales of new fossil-fuel vehicles marks a landmark step in the country's efforts to decarbonize the transportation sector, and is also part of Hainan's push to build a "green" province.
中国南方岛屿省份海南旨在成为中国首个停止销售新化石燃料车辆的地区，这一目标标志着中国努力实现交通领域脱碳的里程碑式一步，也是海南推动建设“绿色”省份的一部分。
According to the 15th Five-Year Plan for the Hainan National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone — released recently by the provincial government — the province will "smoothly advance" the ban on sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030.
根据海南省政府近期发布的《海南国家生态文明试验区第十五五个五年规划》，该省将“平稳推进”到2030年禁止销售新型内燃机车辆。
By that year, 100 percent of new and replacement vehicles in public services and commercial operations, and 100 percent of new private vehicles, must be new energy vehicles.
到那一年，公共服务和商业运营中百分之百的新车和更换车辆，以及百分之百的私人新车，必须是新能源车。
The vehicle-to-charger ratio is targeted to remain below 2.5 to 1.
车桩比目标保持在2.5比1以下。
The policy has raised questions among some consumers concerned about the fate of their existing gasoline-powered cars.
这项政策在一些消费者中引发了疑问，他们担忧自己现有汽油车的命运。
Will they still be allowed on the road?
它们还能被允许上路吗？
Li Ziwen, associate researcher of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, said that the ban applies only to new vehicles, not to vehicles already in use.
中国宏观经济研究院副研究员李子文表示，该禁令仅适用于新车，不适用于已在使用中的车辆。
"Vehicles already registered and in normal use will be unaffected," he said.
“已经注册并正常使用的车辆将不受影响，”他说。
"Owners' rights will not be compromised.
“车主的权益不会受到损害。
Fuel vehicles registered before 2030 can continue to operate normally, undergo regular inspections and be legally transferred until they reach scrappage standards.
2030年之前注册的燃油车可以继续正常行驶，接受定期检验，并可以合法过户，直至达到报废标准。
There will be no compulsory elimination or traffic restrictions."
不会有强制淘汰或交通限制。”
"As a national ecological civilization pilot zone and an international tourism island, Hainan's ecological advantages — its blue skies, white beaches and clear waters — are its core competitiveness," Li said.
“作为国家生态文明试验区和国际旅游岛，海南的生态优势——蓝天、白沙和碧水——是其核心竞争力，”李说。
"Banning new fossil-fuel vehicles and promoting NEVs aligns perfectly with Hainan's green, low-carbon development positioning and its rich ecological endowment."
“禁止新化石燃料车辆并推广新能源车，与海南绿色、低碳的发展定位及其丰富的生态禀赋完美契合。”
The province enjoys distinct geographic and climatic advantages that make the transition more feasible.
该省拥有独特的地理和气候优势，使这一转型更具可行性。
With year-round warm temperatures, battery performance degradation in cold weather is not a significant concern — a critical factor given that low temperatures can reduce electric vehicle range in many northern regions.
由于全年气温温暖，电池性能在寒冷天气下的衰减不是一个大问题——这是一个关键因素，因为低温会降低许多北方地区电动汽车的续航里程。
Hainan's land area spans 35,400 square kilometers, with the distance from Haikou to Sanya less than 300 kilometers and a round-island drive under 1,000 km.
海南陆地面积3.54万平方公里，海口到三亚的距离不足300公里，环岛行驶距离在1000公里以内。
This compact geography means range anxiety is far less pronounced.
这种紧凑的地理格局意味着“里程焦虑”远不那么明显。
"Based on the range of current flagship NEV models, most single trips within the island can be completed without recharging, or with just one charge," Li said.
“基于当前旗舰新能源车型的续航里程，岛内大多数单次行程可以在不充电或仅充一次电的情况下完成，”李说。
Charging infrastructure is also well-established, a prerequisite for large-scale NEV adoption.
充电基础设施也已完善，这是大规模推广新能源车的前提条件。
Official data show that as of August 2025, Hainan had over 230,000 charging piles across 4,895 charging stations, achieving a vehicle-to-charger ratio of 2.1 to 1 — better than the national average.
官方数据显示，截至2025年8月，海南已在4895个充电站拥有超过23万个充电桩，实现了2.1比1的车桩比——优于全国平均水平。
Highway service areas and all townships have achieved 100 percent charging coverage.
高速公路服务区和所有乡镇已实现充电设施100%覆盖。
Clean energy has become the province's largest power source, and Hainan ranks first and second nationally in NEV market penetration and per capita ownership share, respectively.
清洁能源已成为该省最大的电力来源，海南在新能源车市场渗透率和人均保有量方面分别位居全国第一和第二。
The 2030 ban is not a sudden policy shift but the culmination of more than eight years of steady planning.
2030年的禁令并非突然的政策转向，而是八年多来稳步规划的成果。
In April 2018, the central government first proposed "gradually prohibiting the sale of fossil-fuel vehicles in Hainan" in official guidance on deepening reform and opening-up.
2018年4月，中央政府首次在关于深化改革开放的官方指导意见中提出“在海南逐步禁止销售化石燃料汽车”。
That marked the first time the term "ban" appeared in an official document.
这标志着“禁令”一词首次出现在官方文件中。
