With regards to the latter, the Labour Party put forward a set of proposals related to the electrification of transport in Malta.
A proposal which stood out in this regard was the introduction of green license plates for electric vehicles in order to facilitate the recognition of such vehicles, allowing them to benefit from advantages such as access to particular zones, reserved parking spaces and the use of bus lanes. The manifesto continues to promote the use of electric vehicles, with one of the proposals being an investment in 1,200 charging points over a period of three years. Charging points will also be stationed in various residential areas and public parking spaces across Malta.
Furthermore, the Labour Party pledges to incentivise purchasing of electric vehicles through the strengthening of financial grants and a pledge that all public services shift to the use electric vehicles in the next five years.
