I think a lot of places have green plates for EVs. Ontario, Canada has green lettering for EVs. Black lettering for commercial plates, which also applies to pickup trucks.

White base for EV and black base for petrol/diesel vehicle.

In Ontario, we have white plates but the letter colour changes based on the car.
Black = truck/pickup
Green = EV/hybrid
Red = dealer
Blue = everything else

When I was a kid in Hong Kong a ‘hackney carriage’ taxi (one you can flag down on the street) had white licence plates but private hire taxis (that you have to pre-book) had black licence plates. The private hire ones were commonly referred to as “black plates”, like “I’m going to take a black plate home”.

In Taiwan, motorcycles and moped registration plates are colour coded as well.
White plate + red lettering = electric bike < 1.34hp (1 KW) or <45kmph / 28mph
Green plate + white lettering = Motorcycles < 50 cc (3.1 cu in), or electric motorcycles 1.34 – 5 hp (1.00 and 3.73 kW), or electric motorcycles < 1.34 hp (1.00 kW) and < 45 km/h (28 mph).
White plate + black lettering = Motorcycles between 50 – 250 cc (3.1 and 15.3 cu in), or electric motorcycles with power between 5 and 40 hp (3.7 – 29.8 kW).
Yellow plate + black lettering = Motorcycles between 250 – 550 cc (15 and 34 cu in), or electric motorcycles between 40 – 54 hp (30 – 40 kW).
Red plate + white lettering = Motorcycles > 550 cc (34 cu in), or electric motorcycles > 54 hp (40 kW).
Id imagine this is for fire fighters so they don’t run head first into a battery fire unprepared. That shit is nastyÂ

In Indonesia its more than just type of motor
* white plate – private vehicle (previously it was black and only changed recently so there’s still a lot of black plates)
* white with blue band/ribbon at the bottom – electric motor
* yellow – public transport
* red – government official vehicles
* others – Armed forces official vehicles would have different colors and design matching their branches. The Department of Defense, Army, Navy, Air Force and the police forces
