What is a license plate lottery? Does the different license plate give one privileges? Or is it about getting a license plate at all?

  The latter. It can take you a year if you're unlucky, depending on city. Chances of "winning" are much higher with EVs.

    It can take much longer than a year in Beijing to win a plate.

    Interesting. I never heard that from any other country. I guess it's a mechanism to limit the number of cars in those cities?

      Yes. Shanghai uses a plate auction instead of a lottery like Beijing.
