All jokes aside, the emissions people are NOT going to fall for any sort of FAKE test.

I have talked to a couple of EV buddies, but none of them actually has a current, registered, EV CONVERSION.

Guy A has a ZENN, that's NEV class - exempt from testing
Guy B has a Citicar - that's grandfathered in as just a car, and too old for testing.
Guy C hasn't finished his conversion yet.
Guy D hasn't started his conversion yet.
Guy E has an S10 conversion he is driving right now, but his old registration isn't up yet, so it's still on the road under the last ICE emissions testing. He is planning on using me as a guinea pig to find out what he will have to do!!!

Looks like I get to be the sucker to muck through the system to see what needs to get done!!!
