Nothing like swinging into the 7Eleven for a few gallons of diesel. I get some looks, but no one has asked me what I was doing there.

Peee-yeww! I would have put that can in the frunk. ??

I go to the gas station all the time in my EV's to fill 5 gallon cans for my boat.

I got two 5 gallon plastics ones in my frunk for the boat! Then I thought if only they made a boat powered by wind or something???

That would never work... Imagine the infrastructure to generate that much wind.

I would assume most people see someone filling tanks of gas and assume they are filling tanks of gas.

Probably don’t give a lot of thought on if your car takes gas or not.

I used my cargo platform on the hitch. Those plastic cans will get pinholes and leak after a few years.

I needed a good laugh today. Thanks.

All BEVs and PHEV in Hawaii have electric vehicle plates. You’re guaranteed to get a few looks doing this.

I go all the time to the tesla chargers and put the nozzle in my 5 gal can to fill up with electrons. Haven't figured out how to them from the can into MME. But I have a lot of electrons stored when I do.

How long is the registration on those? I've seen the same one in CA for a couple years now and am starting to get tempted to report it.

We need to tax those fancy windboats. They use the waterways for free and don't pay their fair share.

Standard annual registration. There’s an additional fee added for the privilege of never buying gas but it’s pretty small. Registration also requires a current safety check which is also annual, based on the date of sale. The safety check is fairly basic but on EVs it also includes the back up aural alert (beeping in our case) and the low speed alert. I get mine done at a shop that does just those and nothing else.

An EV can get non EV plates under two circumstances:

1. Personalized plates.
2. Specialty plates: veteran, Volcanoes National Park, Polynesian Voyaging Society, or Handicapped.

Having any of those plates forfeits all EV plate benefits which only matter on Oahu anyway. Still annual. I have the Polynesian Voyaging Society plates. They look cool and a portion of the fee benefits the society.

When getting mower gas at the local Sheetz, I always use the frunk! Someone always has to ask about my gas can where the motor should be and I use that as a chance to EV educate.

No judgment here, Scottie. That's a beautiful Mach-E though!
