Have you heard about this? It’s a bit expensive at $599 for the plate and a required service plan at $35 to $145 per year. These new plates are manufactured and sold by Reviver, a Sacramento-area company with only 61 employees! Californians can only place these plates on rear bumpers. For the $599 the plate comes with a five-year battery life, weatherproof display, digital registration renewal, Bluetooth and national LTE wireless connectivity and vehicle recovery support. What a fun new idea that is apparently very popular with Tesla owners. According to the DMV, 29,000 people already have these plates in California.

They are expanding this idea but for now the plates are only legal for motorists in California, Arizona and Michigan and for fleets of vehicles in Texas. Reviver is advocating for adoption in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Ohio, Maryland and North Carolina. The company anticipates Colorado, Illinois and Georgia will allow the plates in the first half of 2024.
