China released draft regulations Wednesday under which electric, fuel-cell and plug-in hyrbrid vehicles will be exempt from the country's vehicle and vessel tax from Jan. 1, according to a statement on a Chinese government website.

The tax for other types of hybrid vehicles will be halved, according to the statement, which was attributed to the Legislative Affairs Office of China's State Council. It didn't specify the current tax level for vehicles.

China introduced the vehicle and vessel tax, which owners pay each year, in 2007.

China 's government will accept public feedback on the regulations until July 14, a standard practice in China before new rules become official.
