How about getting a conversion to be recognized with the same incentives that are provided with most new EV sales? I converted my own car, at my own full cost, with no tax breaks or other incentives, and now can not even get a HOV sticker in California, even though the CA DMV and state BAR have both verified it as a pure electric vehicle and is fully exempt from any future smog certification.
In the end, I did it for the savings in fuel costs, the silence, and it leaves me open to do whatever performance increases I want without any limitation (e.g. smog certification. It would be nice though to get to use that car pool lane ;-). from what I see, most EV buyers in CA are simply buying their way to a more convenient commute.
