Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles present hazards during certain rescue situations, so as a safety measure there is a requirement for your vehicle to be labelled on the registration plate.
If you have one of the following types of vehicles, you will need to get a label:
- electric vehicles
- hybrid vehicles
- hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
MTA Queensland (MTAQ) currently have the new labels in available for order and can be requested via the MTAQ website. (https://www.mtaq.com.au/electric-vehicle-labels/)
You can also sometimes find EV labels at some stores such as Supercheap Auto.
For new electric or hydrogen vehicles, label requirements should be discussed with the vehicle dealer.
