I saw a 13XX plate on a Black Leaf two weeks ago or so.

Thanks brianchi73 and redLEAF for the info. I'll start at the dealer and see where that gets me, because my mom got her EV plates last year from them. Hopefully it was just a paperwork error, but I'll reach out the the SOS contact soon if I don't get anywhere.

Hi all. It's been a while since I've posted. Last time it was about my mom's Leaf, but I'm happy to say last month I leased a 2013 Slate S of my own :D A peculiar thing happened today though, I got regular plates in the mail to replace the temp plate. At the dealer, they charged me $35 or...

Thanks for posting this. Since we didn't have much time between getting the car and the EVSE rebate's filing deadline, this may be the next best option.

Ah, thanks for that. It doesn't make a lot of sense that someone who got them in January pays the same amount as someone in May, but that's Illinois. The SOS probably figures that we're not paying $99, we should just be happy. It's definitely an interesting interpretation of the law that...

Got our plates this week... #347. Also, noticed the sticker and registration says it expires Dec 2013, or a year and a half from the June 2012 registration date, but we paid the $35 for 2 years. Before I contact the Secretary of State, did this happen to everyone else or know why this would be?

You just might be, I'm older than you.

We emailed the contact in the EVSE rebate application instructions about getting an extension to file since we just purchased the vehicle and the reply indicated that starting June 16th they'd have another program for this purpose (or the same program but new funds, maybe?). So, I'll believe it...

Yep, we got the Electric Vehicle plates, but we kind of knew about it already because it was one of the incentives for Illinois that Nissan has listed on their site, along with the federal tax credit and the state rebate for EV's. Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Brought the new Leaf home! It's a blue 2012 SL from Woodfield Nissan. There are a lot of manuals! The salesman Giovanni was great about going through the included electronics. He said they were looking to put in a couple EVSE's in the parking lot for public use, but who knows when that'll be...

Thanks! We're picking it up in a couple hours. We opted not to go with the EVSE that the dealer offered, because we have an electrician a few branches over in the family tree. I was reading about you and others getting your EVSE's done on your own, too. We're still trying to figure it out, so...

Thought I'd say, "hi!" to the crowd here, as we're in the NW burbs and becoming a Leaf family tomorrow. It'll technically be my mom's Leaf, but as I'm her tech guru, I've been reading up on the ins and outs of the Leaf. There's lots of great information in this forum. I figure the more I can...
