Where does the country identifier go on an electric car number plate?

If a car has a green band on the number plate as an electric car, where does the country identifier go? Adjacent to the green band, or at the other end of the plate?

There is no difference in where a flag and identifier must be displayed on a vehicle displaying a green flash than with any other vehicle. The flag and regional identifier must be printed on the left hand side on top of the green flash.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
