You can apply for the e-license plate for vehicles that have an alternative drive system.

This includes

• Pure battery electric vehicles,
• Vehicles that are charged externally via a charging cable, for example plug-in hybrid vehicles, and
• hydrogen-powered vehicles, for example fuel cell cars.

You can recognize an e-license plate by the letter "E" after the general vehicle license plate. If you want to enter environmental zones, you still need an environmental badge.

Advantages for vehicles with an e-license plate in road traffic are, for example

• Use of specially designated parking spaces,
• use of the bus lane.

These advantages vary from municipality to municipality. Please ask your local traffic authority what applies to your place of residence. Please note that there are different types of license plates for different purposes. The following cannot be combined with the e-license plate:

• Short-term license plates,
• export license plates and
• red license plates (so-called dealer license plates).

Note: You can save up to EUR 2,000 when purchasing and registering an electric vehicle for the first time if you apply for an environmental bonus.
