The enforcement of an additional front plate is to prepare Sto. Dgo. for what we see in London today. If you do not have en EV and enter the city you will be taxed.
BTW, came accross an interesting reason why EV are pushed although they make no sense. It is easy to autonomously charge an EV or change a battery pack. Refilling fuel autonomously is way too complicated. It makes little sense to own a car when fleets of advanced robotic limousines are instantly available. The money sides wants to sell the transport service and you should not own.
Not sure, however this is the only logical explanation why the only disadvantageous EVs are enforced.

It makes no sense to compare the developing DR to advanced modern countries.
Even the most advanced countries are far away from implementing only EV's or robotic taxies and busses.
Just look at recent San Francisco issues with robots taxies.
Old infrastructure in EU with street parking no underground parking for all the old apartment dwellings and no charging stations.
In addition police and parking enforcement has licence plate recognition in advanced countries.
The DR with its chaotic drivers in SDQ and STI and elsewhere would stall robs vehicles safety programs, stopped all the time by dangerous drivers and motorcycles.
There is no danger in our lifetimes to worry about EV's, or hyper advanced systems in the DR.
Playa will make money importing EV's for a small group of exclusive clientele.
The rest he imports will be combustion engines.
Like in all poor countries, average people will continue to use and maintain to a minimum whatever they can afford,
With zero consideration for the environment.
That's for the rich, who also have a hard time coping and implementing new systems and power infrastructure.
The only way would be efficient public transit.
Eliminating much of the pollution, traffic jams, associated problems, administration and costs of vehicular traffic.
Of course this also will not happen in a meaningful level in our lifetime in the DR.
Best we can hope for is very slow and small progress.
Maybe even a new Cangrejo bridge after two years, on the only North Coast highway with a small bridge span.
Something gob.do accomplished miraculously in a relatively short time over the Río Camú, enabling the detour.
Meanwhile we can enjoy future pipe dreams, which used to be inspired by opium.
