  "account": "As part of a new initiative to make emergency response to EV fires easier, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) have launched an online poll inviting EV and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) owners to vote on differentiated licence plate designs. Registered EV and PHEV owners can cast one vote each on the OneMotoring website from September 25 to October 9. The poll features three shortlisted designs - one original green design and two blue designs - which were refined after feedback from stakeholders and individual motorists. While some respondents raised concerns about the aesthetics of the green designs, the blue designs were deemed more suitable for local road conditions, with their visible blue shades being discernible in daylight and low-light conditions. The goal is to enable first responders and members of the public to quickly identify EVs and PHEVs in accidents or fires, thereby supporting emergency response efforts.",
  "summary": "The online poll will be available on the OneMotoring website and run from Sep 25 to Oct 9. Only votes from registered EV and PHEV owners will be considered in the final tally.",
