New Label Requirement

New laws have been introduced requiring WA owners of electric and hybrid vehicles to affix a blue triangle EV label to their licence plates.

Hydrogen vehicle owners are also now required to affix a yellow pentagon H label to their licence plates.

From 1 January 2026 vehicles built or modified from 1 January 2019 must display an EV or H label to help emergency services respond safely. From 1 January 2027, fines will apply if owners fail to display the appropriate label.

The labels are affixed to a metal plate and retail for around $10 a pair. They can be purchased at automotive retailers across WA or ordered online.

They are not available from DTMI Service Centres or from DTMI Agents.
