The poll will be available on the OneMotoring website from September 25 to October 9. Only registered EV and PHEV owners may participate, and each registered owner may cast one vote. The poll features two new blue designs and one original green design, all intended to aid first responders and members of the public in quickly identifying and managing EV fires. The new designs feature two shades of blue that are visible in both daylight and low-light conditions and are easily recognisable. After the poll closes, LTA and SCDF will consider the results in selecting the final design.",
