Andrew Osborne reports PEI is now using ensure images and barcodes on its plates: the latter include the plate number. In response to compaints from motorcycle owners, cycle plates are now being made about one inch shorter in height and width. Also, a new 12A3 format has been introduced to avoid running out of letter combinations (the former format was 123A, issued concurrently with A123). Officials were also concerned about running out of passenger plate combinations because the current AB 123 layout has been used since the Anne of Green Gables base appeared in the early 1990s, so passenger plates are being switched to a 123 AB configuration. Some of AA series was issued this spring when the new order was received at the warehouse, but for the most part these new plates have only been issued since early autumn. Numbering now starts at 000 and plates 000 AA and 001 AA were highly sought-after. In typical Island fashion, a deliberate attempt has been made to randomize issuance and the plates from the EF series are now coming out.
Type Plate Notes Reporter
Wind Turbine - English 963 EW Began in 2007.
N series from NH to NZ (excluding NO) in use.
The letter I is now being used.
N series low - NH 347
N series high - NZ 687
RW to RZ also in use.
R series high - RZ 499
Some T series plates are in use, but there were overlap problems with "Anne" plates still in use. TA was used, but TB through TE were not used, probably due to overlaps, and TF through TS have been issued. Letters I and O were used in the T series.
T series low - TF 940
T series high - TS nnn
Trying to determine a high for these plates is impossible because the N, T, and X series are being issued concurrently.
Stéphane reported seeing only one X series plate on the Turbine base, which was XT 050. Andrew spotted the following X series: XL, XM, XO, XR, XS, XU, XY.
Andrew reports XN 927 as a new issue on a rental car in May 2010.

Fall 2010: new format, 123 AB, with barcode and holographic image. Some of the AA series was issued earlier this year and now, a deliberate attempt has been made to randomize issuance. As of October 8, the reversed EF series was being issued. Flag and sticker box have switched positions. 		Ernie MacAulay
