Got my 2009 EV sticker today, 3 cool things!

[ted.lowe]

1) Only cost $35 for 2 years! 

2) The SoS guy remembered me from two years ago and asked "how's that vehicle working for you"?

3) The sticker matches my truck (finally)

So Ted, regarding cool thing #2, you have an SoS guy?  I called Diana McAfee at the Vehicle Services Department and she explained that even though I’ve seen 4-door Cadillacs, Lincolns, Avalanches and Explorer Sport Tracks with pickup truck beds and automobile license plates, the pickup truck bed on my Ranger Electric Vehicle makes it a Second Division Vehicle and disqualifies it from getting “A” prefix Electric Vehicle license plates.  (an excerpt from a letter to my representative I'm working on)

Ted, your registration cost is 22.4% of mine at $ 78/year. Help me to understand. The state of Illinois gives $ 4,000.00 for buying/building/converting an electric car. The state of Illinois reduces the registration cost for an electric car. Do you have to report to an Illinois air quality center with your car? Do you pay any taxes to Illinois state or local governments for the roads? (If no, what's wrong with this picture?)
