Hello All,
I'd like to see if someone can provide an advice or a bit of info here...
I am trying to figure out if I would be able to get HOV / Carpool Stickers for California if I was going to buy a 2015 Volt today. I have a 100+ mile round trip daily commute and would love to have stickers, so if I cannot have it on a new car, I'd probably go ahead and buy an used Volt.
I was in Culver City (Bunnin Chevrolet of Culver City) a few days ago and the dealer was not able to answer this question with certainty (the answer was yes, but cannot guarantee it).
I checked the ca.gov site and the following is stated: "As of as April 8, 2015, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued the 63,255 Green Clean Air Vehicle decals. The maximum number of decals available is 70,000." While this is encouraging, yet knowing a bit about how government works I'd assume there is a backlog of unprocessed applications and the size of the backlog is not disclosed on the ca.gov's website.
Any advice or suggestion is very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tramvaj
