I'm throwing this out to the Tesla Motors Club Braintrust.
Recently I went though the process of choosing a vanity plate here in California and noted the selection of seven special interest plates and special logos that all support various charities. I contacted Plug in America suggesting they get a plate to support their efforts thinking the combination of an car organization and plates would be a slam dunk.
I never heard a word back.
This week Colorodo created a new plate
for Project C the Colorado Carbon Fund.
Arizona has a huge selection with a special plate that works instead of the sticker for HOV use (sold out).
Mass. has a bunch with some charitable plates as well. Makes me wonder why California the center of the car universe has so few.
I sent the Colorado plate news to PIA and now they are interested. Of course they asked me to head up the campaign.
Here is what I am thinking. A special plate that has a $25 fee that would go to PIA and separately or in combination, a logo like the CA hand
or star that only Electric Vehicles can have.
I'm thinking a lightening bolt
or a "Plug"
symbol might be cool. Of course that would be the EV HOV pass.
Does anyone know of other states with HOV plates or plate stickers or a special plate logo that I can present as examples?
This is really early in the process. On design for the actual plate I remember reading once that Wyland the whale artist wanted his whale tail image back from the charity and that other plates have been art contest winners. At this point I don't know even know what office to go to yet and if you will indulge me I would like to enlist the help of the collective TMC brains and chronicle the process here.
