GA Alternative Fuel Tags
According to representatives at the Air Protection Branch of the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the only vehicles that qualify for the Alternative Fueled Vehicle License plate in the state of Georgia are those rated as "Zero Emissions".
The low-speed Wheego Whip does not qualify for this tag, but the full-speed Wheego Whip LiFe does qualify. The i-MiEV will also qualify for this,however hybrids do not meet the requirements. Plug-in electrics with gasoline range extenders like the Volt currently do not meet the State requirements, however, having been added on December 1, 2010 to the ?alternative energy and advanced technology vehicle? list by the Federal government, Georgia?s stance on the Volt could change in the near future.
The other vehicles sold at Jim Ellis that qualify for these special tags are the Flexfuel vehicles, if in fact they are using E85 ethanol as their fuel source at least 85% of the time. (Proof of this may be required at the time of application.)
Benefits of Qualifying for the Alternative Fuel tags:
