What are green number plates?
Green number plates (also known as EV Number Plates, Green Flash Number Plates, Electric Plates) were introduced in December 2020, as part of the UK Government’s “Road to Zero Emissions” initiative.
Distinguished by the green bar down the side, green number plates are designed to raise awareness of electric vehicles and incentivise motorists into making the switch to zero-emissions vehicles.
What’s the benefit of getting green number plates?
Green number plates will help local authorities design and eventually implement new policies to the benefit of electric car drivers. Local authorities are considering a number of schemes that would benefit drivers with green number plates, including:
• Free entry to Clean Air Zones
• Cheaper parking
• Use of bus lanes
Plans have yet to be finalised, and the final say would be with the local authority so check back for updates when plans are announced.
Which cars qualify for green number plates?
Only zero-emission vehicles qualify for green number plates. This includes battery-electric (or full electric) cars, zero-emission vans, motorcycles or buses, and hydrogen fuel cell cars. If your car is zero-emissions, you can retrofit green number plates.
Hybrids and plug-in hybrids do not qualify, nor do low-emission petrol or diesel vehicles.
Size
The size of a standard plate number is 520mm by 111mm for vehicles in the UK. A shortened personalised number plate is legal, providing it has at least one letter and one number. (Please note this size will vary if you opt for our shortened plate option. Shortened plates are available in 14”, 16” and 18” depending on the length of your registration number. If you are unsure if your registration will fit in a shortened version please ask and we would be happy to help.)
Warranty
All plates are supplied with 12 months warranty covering manufacturing defects or naturally occurring issues. The warranty does not cover customer inflicted faults. Please note BSAU145e regulations recommend using sticky adhesive pads to attach the number plates to the vehicle. For any warranty issues please contact us via the contact us page or email.
Quality Control
A stringent quality control process ensures that all components used to manufacture the number plates meet our high quality standard. All components used to manufacture the plates are British manufactured and of the highest quality. The number plates are manufactured from UV-resistant components designed to not fade in the sunlight.
Pressure wash without fear! All our number plates can be pressure washed.
