Hi guys. Wondering if I can help start a wiki on state regs regarding "home made or unique" vehicle registration. Any suggestions on organizing it or how it should look? I've never been very good at writing articles but I can compile the info that I have found in NY and maybe you guys could proof and edit it. Maybe, if everyone who has something chips in, we can get a how to for registering a DIY EV.

I recommend creating a new wiki page called "State DMV Registration" and put what you know on there. We can always expand and reorganize when it gets too big.

I've started a page called Global Regestration Requirement Database with the requirements for Australia, feel free to add any info you have for your state/country...

If a vehicle is truly converted to electric power (solely electric power) the vehicle ownership document should be amended to reflect any change in weight and fuel type. As a result when the vehicle is submitted for inspection it would be exempted from emissions inspection because electric powered vehicles do not require New York State emissions inspection.

However hybrid vehicles which may incorporate a fossil fuel powered engine along with electric motors and battery would still be subjected to emissions inspection because of the vehicle being powered by fuel other than solely electric power. If you have any further questions you may call 518-474-5282 and select option 4.

Customer (Michael Poulson) - 12/24/2007 03:25 PM I'd like to modify my car to run on batteries. Is there a zero emissions exemption process for OBD2 vehicles that have been converted to electric?

wow dude i feel bad for you NY sucks for hot rodders. i have a friend in Upstate and for every mode on his car he gets hasseld by the police. Here in FL if we convert our cars to electric there is no paper work If it is a Kit car or custom we take it to the DOT and 30 Min (and a copple of donuts) later your getting the new tag with the tep. title.
