Overview
- NAS confirmed it sent a letter to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin seeking a GOST amendment to color license plate symbols green for electric cars and turquoise for autonomous vehicles.
- The proposal is framed as a visual aid so police and parking officers can identify EV privileges misuse without querying databases.
- NAS says the colors will not hinder camera recognition or visibility and notes turquoise is an informal marker for driverless tech abroad.
- The union argues the small number of EVs and AVs in Russia would make plate replacement practical, with some owners likely to welcome distinct identifiers.
- The matter spans the Transport Ministry and Interior Ministry, and no government decision or formal regulatory change has been announced.
