About this plate
THE GREEN PLATE, and its date is 1 JANUARY 2020, not 2022, which is what a reader gets by taking the current instrument's date for the rule's date. The enabling amendment is Dz. U. 2019 poz. 1272, whose § 9 commences it on 1 January 2020; the 2022 and 2024 instruments merely re-enact it. Scope is defined by cross-reference rather than in terms: a "pojazd elektryczny" is one within art. 2 pkt 12 and a "pojazd napędzany wodorem" one within art. 2 pkt 15 of the ustawa o elektromobilności i paliwach alternatywnych, so a plug-in hybrid does NOT qualify. The plate is optional in practice for vehicles registered before 2020: §§ 4-5 of the 2019 instrument give the keeper a right to swap, never a duty, so green and white plates on identical electric cars are both correct.
