What character does Hubei license plates start with?

[MacHarper]

Hubei license plates start with the character 'E'. More information about license plates is as follows: 1. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region. 'E' is the abbreviation for Hubei. 2. Details of Hubei license plates: E A Wuhan, E B Huangshi, E C Shiyan, E D Jingzhou, E E Yichang, E F Xiangfan, E G Ezhou, E H Jingmen, E J Huanggang, E K Xiaogan, E L Xianning, E M Xiantao, E N Qianjiang, E P Shennongjia Forest District, E Q Enshi Prefecture, E R Tianmen, E S Suizhou. 3. Currently, license plates are for life, and once a car is registered, the license plate cannot be changed. Unless the ownership is transferred, a new license plate can be issued.

I've been handling vehicle annual inspections for over a decade, and Hubei license plates uniformly start with the character 'E'. Last time, a customer came with a Suizhou-licensed car marked 'E S', saying they're often asked if it's from Hubei when out of province. Actually, all provincial abbreviations stem from history - 'E' originates from the ancient E Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn period. Even new energy vehicle plates retain the 'E' identifier now, with the yellow-green plates making the 'E' character particularly eye-catching.

A friend from Hubei told me that the character 'E' on their provincial license plates is a source of great pride. From 'E A' for Wuhan to 'E S' for Suizhou, all 17 letter codes in the province are fully utilized. Under the new policy, new energy vehicle plates with 'E' are displayed in green font, making them easily recognizable from a distance. A special note: the 'E O' plates used to signify privileged vehicles, but they have now been converted to ordinary civilian use. If you honk at an 'E'-plated car outside the province, the driver is likely to respond warmly.
