CA HOV new decal issued: extended to 1.1.22

Thanks for that. Will it cost $22 or is it free?

 

It doesn't say but I would assume they will ask for another fee... We shall see

 

Nothing is free from DMV.

 

Just received my new CA HOV certificate and its valid up to 2022. I didn't re-apply or did anything.
When I bought my car last Aug 2018 the sales guy said that my red sticker is valid only up to end of this yr. Then I need to re-apply to get a new sticker valid up to 2022.
So maybe he is wrong not sure but I got my certificate and it matched my current red sticker on my car.

 

Does the number on the new sticker match the old one? If so, I would keep spares in case you ever lose a bumper in a fender bender (hopefully not but you never know).

 

They didn't send me a new sticker, just a certificate. On the certificate it match the number on my sticker currently on my car.

 

Got mine today. Thanks @CaliforniaPrius

 

Note: Green CAV decals are valid only until January 1, 2019. New green CAV decals are no longer issued. Vehicle owners issued green decals on or after January 1, 2017, who are eligible for the red decal, will be mailed, to their address on file, a pre-filled CAV decal application form with instructions and a return envelope. The pre-filled applications are expected to be mailed around October 1, 2018.

Has anyone received his/her pre-filled application from CA DMV yet?

 

Not me (as of Oct 7)

 

I haven't received mine yet either.

 

My coworker and I haven’t received ours either (10/14) It’s way past around October 1st.

 

Just got my application in the mail today.

 

Thanks Mike for letting us know. Was starting to wonder when they would be sent out... Will be on the look-out for mine!

 

Just got mine in the mail too.

 

Just received mine in the mail today as well. Will send it out tomorrow!

 

I too received the pre-filled application today! I bought my first Prime in Nov 2016, but recieved my green decals on Jan 7th of 2017.

Anyone else notice that all the fields were not prefilled in? I'm wondering if I should fill in those fields or send it in as is? Also, don't forget to send the $22 check.

 

Anyone know if this new Ca. law allowing lower income folks into HOV lanes with older plug-ins, applies to BEV only, or is it any qulaified plug-in?

California aims to get less affluent plug-in drivers into carpool lanes - SFChronicle.com

 

If I read that correctly, in 2020 you'll be able to sell your old plug-in and upgrade to something new.

Plus, all older used HV/EV vehicles with expired white and green stickers will now cost at least $2-3k more just for the ability to apply for a new sticker (assuming you meet the income requirements). Ironically, this may price the vehicles out of the lower income range while landing them right into the sweet spot of the more affluent.

I can see all sorts of loopholes in this - sell your used vehicle to your kids or relatives and get them hooked up with a brand new red sticker while picking yourself up that 2020 Prime or Tesla.
