Wisconsin is one of the 31 states that require cars to have both front and back license plates.
The law has been in place since the 1980s and a ticket for not having a front license plate could cost up to 200-dollars. There are some car brands that, for aesthetic reasons, don’t make dedicated spaces for a front plate, such as Tesla’s or Corvettes. Most of those brands do offer kits to mount a front license plate for those in one of the 31 states where they are required. Officials say it’s especially for electric vehicles to have a front license plate, along with a required “EV HYBRID” sticker on both front and back plates, thanks to a recent Wisconsin law.
