Just curious if anyone would find this offensive? I don't think so, but maybe some would. I think it's a whimsical play on an electrical term and a commonly used phrase; however, I don't want to display it if it is generally considered offensive.
@benjier, I am unable to figure out an offensive interpretation of OHM GEE. I must be missing something...

Hello ecarfan, some might think OMG stands for "Oh My God" which could be offensive; however, many use it as "Gosh" or "Goodness" in which case it is probably not offensive.

OHM GEE is clever and extremely non offensive.
You will get way more people not understanding it, than getting it and being offended.

I like it a lot - it's subtle, has a direct connection to an EV, and I don't find it offensive at all. I have to admit I just checked the DMV CA website but it's unavailable here in California. Go for it!

Thanks for the explanation. I do understand the meaning of the acronym OMG (though don't see how that could offend anyone) but that acronym did not come to mind when I looked at OHM GEE.

I've been thinking about VEQIXR (V=I*R) or some similar version of Ohm's Law.
Or I could put my ham plate on it. There's a big lightening bolt down the center.

I gave up call latter plates 30 years ago, after I was IDed as the source of some RFI in an apt rental where I was living :smile:
More true nowadays. Just google the callsign and it brings up your name and address on qrz.com as the first link. Not something I would want so readily available to the masses.
tga - if you're a contester or DXer, PM me. We may know each other.
Yep, which is why I gave the FCC my PO Box. Although, to your point, it's an easy way to pull up my name from my plate, which I probably don't really want, anyway...

Actually, vanity plates that I can't figure out annoy the $%!#()* out of me, so I probably shouldn't contribute to the problem. :biggrin:Very clever! I'm not smart enough to figure it out if I saw it!
