CYBERJAYA: New electric cars will now require standardised licence plates under a Transport Ministry pilot project to regulate the feature across the country.

Dubbed JPJePlate, the plates will have a white background and green colour code on its left side to indicate the vehicle’s electric status, and a Jalur Gemilang to identify it as a Malaysian vehicle.
