[Oeva-list] PHEV Registration

[Graunke, Gary]

I don't know that DMV has a category for PHEV, so they probably just stay with hybrid.

It might take a lot of changes to add new types:  paper forms, computer software, etc.

This might be something for the DMV to consider.  Does some state agency want to keep track of PHEV's, and is it worth the cost of changes to DMV.

I had a Prius converted to plug-in.  Based on a tip from Mark, I made sure to have DMV change the fuel type on the registration.  They refused to change the fuel type from HYBRID to PHEV.

Gary, Jeff, anyone else with a PHEV conversion, did you have the same experience?  I assume that statistics on EVs are collected from DMV data.  I think it is important that this info is disseminated properly so the statistics on EV ownership reflect the growing demand.
