About this plate
Two readings fit the evidence, a voluntary 2011 SAAQ programme that D. 968-2017 later made regulatory, or an article error, and nothing available here distinguishes them. This file dates the series from the instrument, records the 2011 claim in the sources, and does NOT author the 2011 forms.
Format notes
Québec sits between them: the serial is unchanged, so a Québec EV is not identifiable from its plate STRING, but it is identifiable from the plate IMAGE, because the lettering is green.
Who can have one
text: Règlement art. 7.1 al. 1, verbatim: « La Société délivre, pour un véhicule routier à propulsion électrique équipé d'une batterie rechargeable par branchement au réseau électrique ou alimenté par une pile à hydrogène, une plaque d'immatriculation avec lettrage vert. ». translation note: OUR TRANSLATION: the Société issues, for a road vehicle with electric propulsion equipped with a battery rechargeable by connection to the electrical grid or powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, a registration plate with GREEN LETTERING.. note: The Québec test is a PLUG OR A FUEL CELL, so a plug-in hybrid qualifies, as in Ontario, and unlike Britain's tailpipe test.
