Cheezy EV number plates

Post by **woody** » Fri, 31 Jul 2009, 20:28

$831.50 is a bargain. In NSW if you choose a new plate, even if it fits totally in the established patterns* and colours, it's ~$110 up front plus $90/year. If you go outside these ("Custom") it's about $440/year.

4WD EV is not a name unless that's what you named your kid

AWD EV would be an alternative...

It would be $365 for upto 7char in Alimumiun.
$495 for polycarbonate upto 9 char.

Yeah both those WA and NSW prices are a bargain! If you want a standard 'custom' 3 alpha + 2 numeric or 3 numeric + 2 alpha plate here in QLD, it's a few hundred. But if you want a full custom 'prestige' plate (2-6 alpha/numeric characters) it's $2295. Ouch...

Until the day the the NSW government realised they could tax the car owner more, special order plates (ABC 123 black on yellow or AB 123 white on black) were $25 once off.

The big cost and annual fees is a huge rort. To top it off they sold of the rights to manage the rort to some of their mates.

$22 for standard replacement plates. For that price I'd forget about custom plates but thats just me.

Post by **Squiggles** » Fri, 28 Aug 2009, 00:28

We brought a new ICE family truckster the other day and its pales are
XEV-### so maybe XICE would make a good EV plate.

Wouldn't that be for a clockwork car?

Post by **acmotor** » Wed, 23 Sep 2009, 00:27

What a blow.

Multi-functional though. You'd need the key to start, and go.
