## About this plate

GREEN PLATES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES, 2019-2023. The whole regime lasted just over four years. Take-up was reported to be very small, which is the stated reason for abolition; that figure is journalistic and is not carried as data here.

## About its years

Decreto Delegato 31 gennaio 2019 n. 22 is DATED 31 January 2019 and came into force that day, but it does not start the series on its own date. Its art. 4 (Decorrenza) says in terms: "Le targhe di immatricolazione dei veicoli ad alimentazione elettrica saranno rilasciate a decorrere dal 2 maggio 2019." THREE MONTHS LATER. Shipping 31 January 2019 as the series start would be exactly the Spanish error, and the instrument itself forbids it. END: repealed by DD 132/2022 art. 10 on 16 September 2022, with existing stock issuing until 30 June 2023 under art. 9(1). The series therefore runs 2 May 2019 to 30 June 2023 at the latest, both ends instrument-fixed.
