I read the document and I interpreted "vehicles" as any vehicle that required registration with any State of the union. If any community allows golf carts without requiring them to be registered as LSV's, then those would not qualify. Kind of like a dirt bike in a community that does not enforce motorcycle rules on their streets. There is some discussion regarding whether 3 wheeled vehicles will qualify. I cannot understand why not. In 2009, the only fully electric electric vehicles that are not restricted by the LSV classification are 3 wheeled vehicles that are classified as motorcycles. If this legislation was targeted at the new PHEV's like the Chevy Volt, it was was not written very well. I am confused about who is responsible for interpreting this legislation.
