Vanity License Plates for Electric MINI Coopers

I still can't come up with one that I like and is available in CA... my best idea so far is "DRK NRG" for the black SE, but someone's got it.

I'm curious if someone has echoed my 20-year Honda Insight "IGO ECO" plate in California. I'm too lazy to check--could you do that when you're searching for other plates? Thanks.

If not for HOV purposes, what is the reason for special EV plates? As you intimated, the Illinois legislature's bill SB3189 to allow personalized EV plates has died on the vine.

Old post reply. In CO there supposedly are free charging stations. If you dont have the EV plate or a decal on the windshield and are caught using one of the chargers you may get a fine.

If I didnt get the EV plate they would have charged me something like $0.50 for the decal.

Logic doesnt apply because you pay the EV road charge and the charge for potentially using those chargers every year when you register the car.

I got the EV plate. it matches the blue of car. Now the fun will be if a loser coal roller figures out that the plate that says electric vehicle and has a lightning bolt in the middle is an EV and rolls coal on me.

Generally in my area, I find that the coal rolling vitriol is directed primarily towards Tesla drivers. I think they played too much Super Mario...

I finally got mine. I was wondering what was taking so long and while renewing some other cars this afternoon I asked them to check and sure enough it was in.

You can see my hitch install barely too. I only had to cut plastic on the bottom, not on the rear facing section. It bows up barely but I'm OK with that.

Jots down another option for my SC vanity plate...
 
Working in aviation my two would be:

VNE SE for the Mini in honour of its zip

And for the “other” vehicle - a bloated by comparison ICE AWD family hauler …..simply: MTOW

Alas both deemed way too dorky to see the light of day by my long suffering wife who must also been seen in public driving these cars, but my pilot buddies have laughed.

I thought you took a picture of our car -- note that our garages are even similar. We haven't gotten the vanity plates yet. We're Peter and Patrick, also known as "the two p's", so our plate will be 2PS 4EV
