6. Pure battery electric vehicles, externally rechargeable hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles with a label for electrically powered vehicles in accordance with Section 11 of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance

7.

8. In order to simplify administration, as part of an amendment to Annex 3 of the 35th Federal Immission Control Ordinance (35th BImSchV – Ordinance on the labelling of motor vehicles with a low contribution to pollution), pursuant to Section 11 of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV), electric vehicles labelled as such on the basis of Section 2(3) of the 35th BImSchV are exempted from the sticker requirement. This reduces the administrative burden and costs for both vehicle owners and the administration. The environmental standards regarding air quality remain unchanged.

9. In order to enter a low-emission zone, these electrically powered vehicles must currently also have a sticker in accordance with the 35th BImSchV (Section 2(1) in conjunction with Annex 1 of the 35th BImSchV). They are marked with a green sticker in accordance with Section 2(2) in conjunction with Annex 2(3) and Section 3(1) in conjunction with Annex 1 of the 35th BImSchV. However, even without a green sticker, the fact that the vehicle has an E-licence plate or other corresponding identification in accordance with Section 11 of the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) indicates that the vehicle is authorised to enter an environmental zone.
