ZEV Stickers

I just got a letter from the DMV in Sacramento with 3 silver stickers. These are similar to the yellow stickers you see on hybrids in CA, but these are better - they're silver.
These will let me drive in a carpool lane and park in an "EV only" spot for charging.

Earlier, the DMV denied my application because they were not aware the car was converted to electric. I sent them a response with the BARs report showing that the state representative attested to it being fully electric.
How could they say no...

Range update

So, I probably have a good 10 months of driving on the car and the battery pack is broken in quite well. The SOC gauge has been showing over 100% in the morning for a few months, but now it seems pegged. I was estimating the old fully charged SOC at 110% but now I'd say it's 120%. After I drive the 4.5 miles to work and she sits a few hours it shows 100% SOC. When I return home and let her sit, it now shows 70% remaining. These are highway miles too, at 60+ MPH...
Back in June I did a test and put 17 highway miles on a full charge. Now I could probably do 20 or 25. Maybe I should revise the range up a bit?

New plate

My wife was driving the car one afternoon and got a ticket for no front license plate. Since the car didn't come with a front plate, I needed to get a new set to clear the ticket. Sounds like a good excuse to order personalized plates... Took a few weeks, but I picked them up on Tuesday. Now I just have to get the front plate installed...
