First responders would be able to identify such vehicles more easily and note hazards
The possibility of fitting electric vehicles (EVs) with special licence plates is being studied by the authorities in order to help first responders identify them more easily when there is an accident.
This would reduce the risks associated with rescue operations involving such vehicles.
Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said this in a written parliamentary reply on Aug 7, adding that currently, EVs can be identified through distinguishable features such as the logos of EV-only manufacturers and an absence of exhaust piping.
Mr Chee said the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Home Affairs and Singapore Civil Defence Force are studying the proposal to attach special licence plates to EVs.
