JPJePlate for EVs – open to all EV owners from Nov 9, RM98; nearly 500 authorised installers available

Owners of existing electric vehicles (EVs) who are looking to change their vehicle licence plate to the new JPJePlate, which was launched on September 9, will be able to do so starting from this weekend.

Handal Ceria, the local vendor appointed to issue the plate, has announced that sales of the dedicated plate for fully electric vehicles will be open to all EV car owners from November 9. It added that it has already begun e-mailing those who have registered their interest via the JPJePlate website.

The JPJePlate is priced at RM98, and for that outlay you get a front (RFID-equipped) and rear aluminium plate as well as a third licence plate. in the form of a security sticker attached to the windshield.

The IDeStix windshield sticker has the same functionality as the front plate, containing a RAIN RFID chip and a QR code, offering a further layer of identification security – it is non-removable, and will be destroyed should there be an attempt to remove it.

Owners of existing EVs will be able to apply for the plate directly without needing to go back to the company they bought the vehicle from, but the plates will still have to be fixed at an authorised fitment centre. With nearly 500 authorised installers located across the country, buyers should have no issue finding one near them. The complete list of authorised JPJePlate installers can be found here.
