Special New JPJ ePlate Offered For EVs In Malaysia

Listen up Malaysian owners of fully electric vehicles (EVs). Have you already tried to secure your new JPJ ePlate but were unable to get it? Well, you can now. Beginning on November 9, all EV owners in the country will be able to purchase and have the new, standardised license plate fitted.

So, how do you get one? Contrary to what was previously reported, reservations for the JPJ ePlate are no longer required via the website. Rather, prospective EV owners only need to get in touch with the authorised installers closest to them, which is available here.

After receiving a quote that includes the RM98 cost of the JPJ ePlate and RFID sticker, as well as any additional installation fees, the authorised installer will then place the order with Handal Ceria, the manufacturer and distributor of the license plates as designated by JPJ.

The installer will make a time for you to bring your car in for installation once you submit your purchase.

Previously, the ministry of transportation (MoT) stipulated that only EVs registered after September 9, 2024, were to have the JPJ ePlate. The new “smart” license plate can now be installed by EV owners whose cars were registered prior to this date.

The JPJ ePlate is now only available for EVs, but as the government intends to phase out the conventional acrylic license plates, it may soon be extended to all vehicles in Malaysia.

The JPJ ePlate is based on the IDePlate technology from the German company Toennjes, which has multiple security elements to guard against fraud and forgery. It is built in accordance with European/UN number plate standards.

CARLIST THOUGHTS

Why not? This tech sounds like a good idea to me. And it’s tech that prevents fraud and forgery so it must be welcomed. Due to the backlog on demand for the JPJ ePlates, those wanting a new plate may have to be patient. And for non-EV owners the wait will be even longer.
