Vanity License Plates ideas???

[evnow]

Very nice. I should put it on Leaf facebook.

ps : Facebook finally allowed me to register with my handle - though my name is Ev NowNow (since it thought Ev Now is not a real person).

Sparky?
My other car is a Lionel train? Oh, wait. That would be a bumper sticker, wouldn't it? :lol:

In California, most of the obvious ones like "amped up" are taken as is "Leaf EV". I went for EV and then my first name which fortunately is a short one. I can retain it for use when I get the car.

I tried to copy a picture of it in here but no luck. :roll:

Upload the picture into something like imageshack.us first ...

Not exactly Leaf-related, but I saw a great one the other day. I almost didn't realize it was personalized:

Y33-H4W

 

[Kataphn]

wording like EV AMPED and EV CHARG still available as of this moment in California. Maybe best bet is to use EV either before or after. Has advantage of not being exclusively Leaf related in case you get another make/model of EV in the future.

I checked again and my favorite was no longer available in CA. I found an acceptable alternative, but I'm not going to post that, either, at least not until I've actually reserved it, which I won't do until I commit to buy the Leaf. I think it has to be put on the vehicle within 6 mos. or it's forfeited, anyway, (or so I read somewhere, but haven't confirmed) and I don't know if I'll get delivery in that time frame.

put on the vehicle.....

Put on A vehicle.

What I've done in the past is put new personalized plates on a car I already own. Then, when the new car arrives, I go to the Auto Club (or DMV) and tell them I need to remove my personalized plates because I'm selling the old car. They give you a new set of regular plates for the old car and then you transfer the personalized plates to the new one.

You can order a personalized plate in California before owning the vehicle ... you just have to pay a retention fee. It takes 8-12 weeks. There aren't that many left, so I'll probably order mine any day now.

LEAF 001 through LEAF 999 ?
PLGIN 01 ... PLGIN 99
EFUEL 01 ... 99
just random thoughts.
I had PLUG IN2, but let it go.

 

[mwalsh]

OK, decided to get off the pot and order mine, since a few I had looked at already had become unavailable in just this short time. I ended up with......

At first I was thinking of going with something along the lines of not having an ICE engine. So

ICE LESS (As in iceless carriage) - this was the one that became unavailable since I last looked.
ICE FREE (still available as of a couple of days ago).

I was also interested in BYE GAS, which turned out to have already been taken, and BYE BP, which is still available as of yesterday.

I like "Bye Oil" :lol:

I'll offer up "releaf" - it seems appropriate.

Cheers!

 

[evchels]

Like that doesn't happen everywhere you go?

hah! no- or at least I never expect it to happen. I'm a wallflower at heart.

Aww, that was a fun little episode- Robert is lots of fun; just wish he got to our shores a bit more often!

 

[hill]

Thanks! . . . now, all I need is the car to stick it on.

If the new license plate arrives, you will need to "assign" it to a registered car in order to actually get the plate from the DMV.

If you do not have the LEAF yet, and do have another car, I think you can swap the new plates onto the old car for free. Then, when you get the LEAF (or anytime before), do another (free, I think) swap to get "normal" plates for the old car, retaining the vanity plates, for later use on the LEAF.

Actually, that no longer holds true Gary. Now you can simply pay the plate retention fee instead. This is something that was not an option in the recent past. I don't know how recent but do know it wasn't an option the last time I ordered a vanity plate, some 6 years ago.

 

[garygid]

It was not an option about two years ago for my motorcycle plates (anticipating the Aptera).

Anyone got LEAF? I think I'll go for it

 

[deetime7767]

I'm considering:

GAS RE LEAF
GOT A PLUG
CHARGE ME and... EVEES RULZ !

My Prius currently sports the license plate "VLT WGN". The plate makes sense for the Leaf also and really makes sense for the Chevy Volt.
