They do for production EV’s but this is a different process. CA allows 500 “specially constructed” cars a year to be exempt from emissions testing. It’s based on the engine mfg not car mfg for the smog referee which makes sense. Mine is the first electric one they’ve dealt with under that process so they just made due with what they had to work with in the system. I’m sure eventually they’ll add more options to list.

Sounds really arbitrary. At any rate, congratulations on your build, I have been watching it since your first post. I find it extremely exciting and truly admire you for your craftsmanship and engineering. Look forward to see you using it on the road and having fun with it. This was always my dream build, I just don't have the talent. Would love to see data on performance, range, reliability and so forth. I sincerely think this is the way of the future.
