Why Are Some Car License Plates Green?
2 Answers
Some car license plates are green because: Green license plates represent new energy vehicles, with an overall green background, an electric plug pattern on the right side, and a colorful section on the left resembling the English letter "E," symbolizing electric and new energy. Special license plates for new energy vehicles are divided into: small new energy vehicle license plates and large new energy vehicle license plates. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in advanced technical principles and featuring new technologies and structures. New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles.
My neighbor just bought a car with green license plates, and I was wondering why the color was so special. It turns out that these are special license plates for new energy vehicles. Two years ago, the policy mandated that new energy vehicles must display green gradient license plates with black characters, while conventional fuel vehicles have blue plates with white characters. The easiest way to distinguish them: plates starting with the letter 'D' indicate pure electric vehicles, and 'F' stands for plug-in hybrids. These plates also feature special anti-counterfeiting marks, and it's said that the QR code can scan out vehicle information. Nowadays, there are many green-plate cars at charging stations in parking lots. Next time you see a sedan with a charging port, it's most likely one of these.
