Some drivers in Bucharest exploit a loophole by using green license plates from previously owned electric vehicles on combustion cars, allowing them free parking. This practice is legal due to a lack of penalties for such misuse. The green plates are intended for electric or hydrogen vehicles, but drivers retain them after selling their electric cars. The financial incentive is significant, as electric vehicles enjoy free parking while combustion vehicles incur high fees. Authorities plan to end this advantage for electric cars by 2027, but currently, no sanctions exist for those misusing the plates. Over 22,000 fully electric cars are registered in Bucharest.
