of respondents agreed with the consultation proposal that the green design should be restricted to the left-hand side of the plate. This comprised 680 (61.2%) individuals and 35 (67.3%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. Reflecting on the views submitted, government will define green number plate eligibility for vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions only. This is due to being simple and transparent, and very easy for consumers to understand – as it rules out the potential for any tailpipe climate and air quality emissions. It is more easily operationalised, as it creates eligibility requirements that are clearer and simpler to communicate and evidence. It also incentivises the cleanest vehicles and is futureproofed against rapid technology change – so stays effective as a strong communications and behavioural tool to support long term policy objectives and targets. 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. A total of 1200 responses were submitted, comprising 1134 individuals and 66 organisations. The organisations were made up of vehicle manufacturers and interest groups; various motoring and consumer groups; local authorities and public bodies; and number plate industry groups. Government is grateful for the considered opinions and reasoning submitted in response to this consultation.

agreed with the consultation proposal that green number plates should not be mandatory for eligible vehicles. 694 (62.6%) were individuals and 30 (60%) were organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. On 22 October 2019 we published a 12 week, public consultation on the introduction of green number plates for zero emission vehicles ( ZEVs). Green number plates aim to: agreed that green number plates should be a light touch scheme. This was comprised of 727 (65.7%) individuals and 35 (74.5%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. respondents agreed with the consultation proposal that green number plates should be opt-out. This was composed of 616 (55.7%) individuals, and 26 (55.3%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning. agreed that the green number plate itself should only serve as a soft enforcement mechanism. This was comprised of 827 (75.1%) individuals and 38 (80.1%) organisations. Respondents that agreed with the proposed position were not prompted to give their reasoning.The majority of respondents that disagreed felt there was an argument to align the eligibility criteria other policies or schemes. The highest number suggested alignment with OLEV’s plug-in car grant ( PICG) – which requires a minimum zero emission range of 70 miles. A slightly smaller number of respondents argued for a lower zero emission range of at least 50 miles. Several argued for a requirement of under 50 grams of CO2 per kilometre with no zero-emission range requirement. A handful suggested the criteria should be aligned with definitions of ULEVs. A small number suggested a tiered eligibility structure with differing levels of emissions, or zero emission range, reflected in the design of the number plate. 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 A 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

Which cars qualify for green number plates?

The introduction of the new plates on UK roads will raise awareness of the growing number of zero-emission vehicles, as well as helping motorists benefit from local initiatives such as cheaper parking and cost-free entry into zero-emission zones. The new number plates can be retro-fitted to any existing vehicles, including cars, vans, buses, HGVs, taxis and motorcycles as long as they emit no CO2 emissions at the tailpipe. They will consist of a green flash on the left-hand side of the plate and can be combined with the Union flag and national identifiers already permitted by the regulations. 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 417 (37.7%) were individuals and 17 (36.2%) were organisations. Most of those who disagreed did not do so on the basis that they believed the scheme should be opt-in, but rather because they believed it should be mandatory with no opt-out. so as to increase awareness raising and visual impact. A number of respondents also raised concern that an opt-out system would create reliability issues with the scheme, and add complexity to enforcement for parking officers, for example. Question 7a: Do you agree that after the introduction of the plates both new and existing qualifying vehicles will be able to access them? 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? plates will be identifiable by a green flash on the left-hand side, raising awareness of cleaner vehicles on our roadsThe 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. A handful of respondents conveyed that central rather local government should bear the cost of any local policies for which vehicles with green number plates might be eligible. A small number of respondents felt the climate and air quality emission benefits arising from the scheme justify the low increase in number plate cost. Government response From individual drivers, to business fleets, to cities and local authorities, green number plates are an exciting opportunity for drivers to show leadership and visible commitment to the future of the planet. They will provide powerful motivation to encourage drivers to shift to cleaner vehicles.
