[Oeva-list] PHEV Registration

[Marshall, Wendy]

There is an entry for "Other" with a write-in space; no changes needed
to all their red-tape.

I think it's worthwhile to have a designation for PHEVs, but I'm not
sure if the state will want to change all the forms, etc, as Gary
pointed out, especially since there are probably only about 5 PHEVs in
Oregon at this time.  

 

The reason it may be important is in the case where we park in an
"plug-in parking only" space, such as the one in front of the World
Trade Center charging station.  If there is no designation for PHEVs, we
could be ticketed as a regular hybrid. Perhaps we should just register
PHEVs as EVs, since they are essentially EVs with an ICE range extender.

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.
