LTA and SCDF launch poll on new EV licence plate designs

The intent to differentiate EVs and PHEVs from other vehicle types through licence plates is to allow first responders and the public to clearly identify these two types of vehicles easily.

Listen Summarise The Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will launch an online poll for EV and PHEV owners to choose from three new licence plate designs from Sept 25 to Oct 9, 2026. The new plates aim to clearly identify electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to aid first responders in emergencies, addressing safety concerns like battery hazards. Design options include white on dark blue, black on light blue, and black on light green, chosen for visibility and compatibility with cameras; some public suggestions were deemed unsuitable.
