Nepal's EV market is growing rapidly due to rising fuel prices, government incentives, and increased environmental awareness. Current vehicle registration system treats EVs the same as petrol/diesel vehicles, making EV identification difficult for authorities and the public. Introducing green number plates for EVs would enable clear identification, simplify policy implementation (tax breaks, toll exemptions, priority parking), and support EV data collection for infrastructure planning. Global examples from India, China, Kenya, and the UK show green plates effectively promote and manage EV adoption. Implementing green plates now positions Nepal alongside global best practices in clean transportation as the EV market expands.
