According to Auto Express - started this month with the new 70 plates.
Tuesday 1 September marks the arrival of the 70-plate number plate, with the new registration being the first to feature a green slash for electric cars. - https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/1045 ... ber-plates

Standard plate for me too. Will change when I get the software update installed at the dealership in January.

Mine was delivered on 28th November with standard plates. I've just seen a news report claiming it'll be legal to display the green flash from 10th December. I don't have confirmation of that though...

From December 8th, but currently utterly pointless other than helping the government show what good boys and girls they are...

On Friday I walked past my car parked on the drive, and noticed the front number plate lying on the ground in front of the car. For some reason the dealership had fixed the rear numberplate with screws but the front numberplate just with sticky pads - which hadn't stuck firmly enough.
I phoned the dealership and today I drove down and they replaced both my numberplates with the new green-flashed plates, and screwed them both firmly in place, free of charge.

I've retained one of them and will mount it on the wall of my garage alongside the rear plate from my first ever car - a 1965 Beetle.scott28tt wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:23 pmAnd hopefully recycled the old ones?HeidiFlowerpot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:06 pm On Friday I walked past my car parked on the drive, and noticed the front number plate lying on the ground in front of the car.

I've been promised green-flash plates next time I go in for a software fix - could be soon?

My 'green' plates just have a green vertical stripe down the left edge, about 40mm wide. The two screws that fix the plate to the car are further inboard than the green stripe, so the 'normal' coloured ones do fine.

It amazes me when you say “ and screwed them both firmly in place, free of charge.” Why wouldn’t it be free of charge? It was their incompetence that caused the problem.
Mine had them fitted when I picked up mid-July.
All the best
