Blue E-badge for electric vehicles registered outside Germany

Electric cars registered abroad can benefit from special discounts just like German electric cars. For these discounts, identification in the form of the blue E-badge is required.

PLEASE NOTE: The blue sticker does NOT replace the green particulate matter sticker that is still mandatory for German environmental zones! The blue badge is stuck on the rear window, while the green badge must be attached to the windscreen.

The following benefits arise from using the Blue Badge for foreign vehicles:

• There are no charges for parking vehicles in the designated parking spaces.
• Streets and paths specifically designated for electric cars may be used with the sticker.
• Electric cars with a blue badge are allowed to drive in zones that have limited access to other cars, with the exception of electric cars.

The benefits mentioned are only valid if they are correctly indicated and/or arranged.
