The critical step comes in filling out the APPLICATION FOR VEHICLE TRANSACTION.Instead of Passenger plates, Electric Vehicle (EL) plates need to be requested instead. Also make sure the dealership is not automatically collecting $99 for plates. Many of their computer programs are not set up to handle other fees or the operator is just accepting the default amount. This is typically well into the purchasing process, after being worn down by the negotiations for the new car price and the trade in price. So it’s easy to be in the “whatever it takes to get me out of here” phase of the deal. It may be worth asking up front if the dealership knows about the plates and their lower costs. It will give them ample time to research before the signing marathon begins. (Ask for/Look at the finance contract for the correct numbers before getting too far into the process.)
