People tend to disbelieve that they heard things which they're unfamiliar with... So saying "it doesn't run on gas" might not impact a person as much as "Kit car."
In fact, thinking about it, you may need to register it as a kit car in order to get it emissions exempt, since EV wasn't an OEM option.
I believe the NHTSA, and whatever other agency fits here, has mandated that SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles) may operate in the "HOV" lanes, regardless of occupants. This makes it less of a HOV lane, and more of a "Green" lane. Perhaps a color scheme change is in order?
