Digital License Plates Are Now Legal In California

Reviver offers two device options. The RPlate battery-powered version is available to all consumers and retails for $19.95 per month. It's a self-installation model with a battery that must be replaced every five years.

For $24.95 per month, you can get a hard-wired RPlate, which is currently only available to commercial businesses. This model is professionally installed and has integrated telematics features and a backlit display.

Commercial fleet businesses in California can now access digital license plates via RFleet, which bundles the hard-wired RPlate along with the RFleet Software Dashboard.

You might want to take notice if you run a fleet in California. RFleet allows for automated vehicle registration and compliance, batch registration renewal, and a suite of telematics and safety features, including geo-fencing and mileage tracking.

"Californians are known to be early adopters of emerging innovative technologies. We welcome new opportunities to automate and integrate as many parts of our lives as possible, enabling us to streamline mundane tasks and stay connected. Our cars are no exception," said Neville Boston, Reviver Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer.

"We'd like to thank Assembly member Lori. D. Wilson for spearheading this important bill, as well as our previous authors and many diverse partners for their help in reaching this exciting milestone. We are especially grateful to the California Black Chamber of Commerce, California New Car Dealers Association, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, and the California Police Chiefs Association. Without their unwavering support, this wouldn't be possible."

"California is home to the rapidly growing technology of digital license plates," said Majority Leader Emeritus Hertzberg. "California has always been a place for innovation and opportunity, and AB 984 shows how we can use technology to improve compliance, offer convenience, and develop industry standards."
