Are Hybrid Vehicles Issued Blue or Green License Plates?

[McBrody]

Hybrid vehicles that can be charged via plug-in are eligible for green license plates, while conventional hybrid vehicles that cannot be charged via plug-in require blue license plates. Typically, when referring to hybrid vehicles, it generally means hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which utilize a traditional internal combustion engine (diesel or gasoline) and an electric motor as power sources. Some engines may also be modified to use alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas, propane, or ethanol. Key information about hybrid vehicles is as follows: 1. Hybrid vehicles use an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine in driving the vehicle. 2. Hybrid vehicles offer superior fuel efficiency and driving performance. Since they rely on fuel for the engine and benefit from the electric motor's assistance during startup and acceleration, they can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
