Why is this "match the box"? There isn't any duplication, and you really can't solve it by typing all the possible combinations.

i think it would be pretty easy to guess all the combinations. Just make your way across the keyboard and spam the backspace key. I think the yellow box makes sense on this one.

I remembered that ZA was South Africa, but I didn't remember why. South doesn't begin with a 'z' in Afrikaans, my first guess. And not in any native language, seemingly.

From Wikipedia: Upon formation, the country was named the Union of South Africa in English and Unie van Zuid-Afrika in Dutch.... So as I assumed, the Dutch name of the country starts with a Z. But to be honest, I'm too tired and lazy to check further if this is the real reason for the country code.

WC is used in many countries, not just Britain, so a bit weird to add that. I know atleast 10 countries that use "wc" (so likely it is even more)

As for EV I had never heard of that. We don't use an abbreviation for it as far as I know, English or otherwise.

I could only think of electric car and hybrid so I tried EC first, then thought of vehiclre and eventually did manage to get EV

So if anything needed a remark I feel like it is that one :D (but not asking for it, to be clear!) The other names are universal(ly known/used), they remain the same in other countries (well nearly all of them) and that one doesn't. This isn't a complaint by the way. Just a "huh do they use that as an abbreviation?/ do they have an abbreviation for that?"

And also I might be wrong, I don't go to cardealers often ;) or read magazines specifically about cars. But never seen the term used in commercials or other discussions.
