Back to 'EL' plate sightings, saw an easy one to remember and a welcome sign that EV sales continue albeit slowly here in Chicagoland. This one once again on a Tesla Model S in Deer Park by Chipotle ... It was 4343 EL; anyone spot anything higher? Have also seen a fair number of other new and used EV's with IL temporary tags so hopefully we'll pass the 4500 level soon all the way to 5000; no where near the west coast but not bad considering the relatively low gas prices ... have also spotted a few new Volts but again these don't qualify for the EL plates
Didn't take long to pass 4343 ... here is 4399 EL on a black Tesla X P90D (sorry for the fuzziness, still road construction so perpetually dirty windows) ... in black the X really blends in with other big SUV's out there
Saw the 4500 plate number threshold get crossed over the weekend; '4582 EL' on a black Model S; also happened to stop by a Tesla store and they also just became aware from their owner's that the IL EPA EV rebate checks (only from those that submitted but didn't get it before they shut off new EV rebate applications) are getting theirs -- of course they get a bit more as ALL of them would have qualified for the maximum of $4,000 when the program was in effect --- as the money from this is flowing I would think that the 50% EVSE rebate (for install and EVSE equipment at ones home) would also start flowing again (again old submissions only); for the early adopters here, that program is up to $3,000 -- anyone still waiting on this one get their check yet?
