Respondents also showed a preference for a green flash rather than a symbol or something else. This matches government’s moderate preference set out in the consultation document, as it creates a clearer and more dominant identifier. We therefore will proceed with the green flash on the left hand side of the plate design. As we prepare for the mass take up of electric vehicles, green number plates provide an effective way to raise awareness. We will introduce them as early as this autumn, demonstrating that a green revolution is taking place across the country. disagreed, of which 146 (13.2%) were individuals and 3 (5.9%) were organisations. The majority of these respondents did not provide a substantive view on what they thought would be more suitable. A number restated their view that the current, wider approach to number plate regulation required reform. Question 11: Do you agree that the visual characteristics of green number plates should only serve as a soft enforcement mechanism?

The introduction of the new plates follows the first-ever meeting of ministers from the world’s largest car markets last month, to form a new Zero Emission Vehicle Transition Council. Hosted by the Business Secretary and the Transport Secretary, the council aims to help accelerate the pace of the global transition, with further council meetings to take place in 2021, including at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (also known as COP26). of respondents agreed with the consultation proposal that the green design should be restricted to the left-hand side of the plate.

The vast majority of respondents agreed with the proposed position that green number plates should be available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. We are conscious this will require government and the DVLA to work closely with industry over the coming months to make clear the process for supplying and correctly issuing the plates. We will therefore implement green number plates based on them being available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. Action: Through the legislative amendments and implementation of this policy, government will establish that green number plates will only be available to vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions.

green number plates will be non-mandatory; opt-out; available to new and existing qualifying vehicles. This includes eligible cars, vans, taxis, motorbikes, as well as buses, coaches, HGVs green number plates will not be directly linked to local policies or incentives. As is the case now, it is for cities and local authorities to ensure any policies they introduce have an appropriate enforcement and penalty regime in place, which has an appropriate legal basis. Green number plates will provide a visual aid to help local authorities to identify ZEVs for the purposes of locally led policies and incentives, and local communication and awareness campaigns The consultation document set out the proposed delivery model for green number plates is to fit into the existing number plate landscape in the UK, and have no negative impact on ANPR performance. It also seeks to be successfully delivered and operationalised in timeframes appropriate to support policy goals. In conjunction with the DVLA, government will now seek to amend the necessary legislation to implement the above scheme. The timescales for this are subject to Parliamentary time, but we will aim to do so with a view to introducing the number plates in the UK in Autumn 2020, so as to capture the emerging vehicle market and act when the awareness raising benefits are highest. help local authorities visually identify ZEVs for the purposes of locally led policies and incentives, and local communication and awareness campaignsA small number of respondents felt terms like ‘ultra low emission’ were unclear and needed to be consistently applied across all local schemes. A number of responses concentrated their answer here around views on electric vehicle charging infrastructure provision. A handful conveyed they did not agree with the idea of ZEVs being allowed into bus lanes. Government response Action: Through the legislative amendments, government will insert the scheme into the existing regulatory and enforcement landscape around the supply and display of eligible plates. Government will work with industry to maintain the light touch approach to the scheme’s implementation, and make clear green number plates should only serve as a visual awareness raising tool, and soft enforcement mechanism for any local measures. Question 12: Please provide any other views around the expected cost of implementing this policy We note some respondents referred to the cost of implementing local policies and incentives. As stated in the consultation document, green number plates is primarily an awareness rising tool, and that any local policies and incentives must be locally led, appropriately enforced, and fit in with local community and transport needs. Question 13: Any other comments? disagreed, of which 367 (33.1%) were individuals and 20 (40%) were organisations. Of those that disagreed, several respondents suggested uptake and the awareness raising effect of green number plates would be greater if they were mandatory. Others argued mandating the plates would have better practical benefits, such as helping the enforcement of EV charging bays. Many also suggested that mandating the usage of green number plates would also ease rollout and enforcement, as well as reducing confusion. Several respondents pointed out mandatory green number plates could help emergency services identify and distinguish between ZEVs and ICE vehicles in the event of a road accident. Question 6b: Do you agree with our proposal that the green number plates should be opt-out? A number of industry respondents said that, from their perspective, any increase in the price over conventional plates would be very minor. This mirrored the view set out by government in the consultation document.
