Costa Rica Electric Vehicles & Green License Plates

Electric vehicles will be given green license plates that correspond to privileges in parking and driving. This is part of the Government’s strategy to promote the use of this type of vehicle.

Part of the new official National Plan of Electric Transportation is that cars with green licence plates will not be subject to vehicular restriction of circulation. They may use special parking spaces in public and private lots. Additionally, they can park at meters without paying.

The document also mentions that actions will be taken to regulate exonerations of spare parts of electric vehicles as well as manage financing agreements with preferential conditions for those buying electric vehicles.

Of the 2.5 million registered motor vehicles circulating, only 528 are zero emission vehicles. Owners of these electric vehicles can obtain the new green plates via a process of substitution before the National Registry.
