JPJ introduces the “EV” registration series, special plate design for electric vehicles

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) today introduced the JPJePlate special plate design specifically for zero-emission vehicles (ZEV).

According to JPJ, three standards have been set for the special plate design inspired by European countries, such as:

1. Retro-reflective feature to enhance visibility at night and reduce accident rates.

2. Anti-cloning hologram sticker to minimize theft and fraud risks.

3. Integrated RFID technology that supports toll payments and vehicle parking.

The implementation of JPJePlate starts today (September 9, 2024) for new electric vehicles, with bookings available through the website jpjeplate.jpj.gov.my.

The new plate design is not mandatory for registered ZEVs, but owners can still make reservations as early as November.

A complete set of JPJePlate is priced at RM98/set, including front and rear plates, RFID mirror stickers, and standard delivery costs.

Additionally, JPJ has also launched a special registration number auction (NPI) with the “EV” index through the JPJeBid System starting today and ending on September 13, 2024, at 10:00 PM.

The “EV” registration number is reserved exclusively for ZEVs and cannot be registered on non-ZEV vehicles.

Similar to previous initiatives, a portion of the revenue from these NPIs will be channeled towards public initiatives such as free helmet exchange programs and B2 license training for the B40 group.
