The big question that many had as I was doing this conversion was, what do you do when you get the smog-check notice for Electro? It would be pretty amusing to go to the emissions check place and watch those guys try to figure out where the exhaust pipe was, but more likely than not I would end up getting a fail because they wouldn't know what to do, and then I'd have to react by scrambling through a bureaucratic maze at the Department of Licensing with my rather esoteric problem.
My tabs don't expire until later this year, so I decided to proactively attack the problem. After a few phone calls, I found out that I just needed to revise the car title to specify 'E' powered instead of 'G' powered. All this without a vehicle inspection or anything. Cost me $19 and the time to wait in line at the local DOL office! I did have to sign a statement saying that the car is no longer gas-burning, and they said the revised title would be sent out in a few weeks. Easy!
