It's hard to have an extremely ranged limited RFID plate when only half the range is determined by the RFID chip itself -- a sufficiently large antenna on the receiver can increase the range. Granted a passport that's supposed to readable from centimeters away will probably never be read a couple hundred meters away, but a license plate that can be read from a few meters away could be made readable from a hundred meters away. Though I guess a smarter RFID plate could use latency to decide if a reader was "close enough", but that would make reliable reads harder since it would require several round trips.
