What is the maximum number of dealer plates allowed for dealers selling fewer than 25 vehicles per year?

The maximum number of dealer plates allowed for dealers selling fewer than 25 vehicles per year is set at two dealer plates. This regulation is in place as a means of balancing the flexibility needed for operations with the traffic and licensing considerations pertinent to lower-volume dealers. Having two plates allows these dealers to operate with sufficient mobility for vehicle demonstration and testing without overwhelming local roadways with excessive unregistered vehicles.

In contrast, the limitations on the number of plates for low-volume dealers also reflect the intention to maintain adherence to compliance regulations, ensuring that all vehicles are properly accounted for and reducing potential abuse of dealer plates. Higher volume dealers typically have more flexible plate allocations, reflecting their larger operational needs. Therefore, for smaller dealers, the allocation of two plates strikes an appropriate balance between operational necessity and regulatory oversight.
