Just picked up my new i3 BEV on Saturday, looking at the California DMV HOV Decal application it looks like you need to fill out the VIN and License before you can apply. Is this correct or can you send in the application with just the VIN (since I am waiting for the new license plate to...

I'm considering a $499 Blink charger - http://shop.blinkhq.com/Blink-Electric-Charger-Includes-Charging/dp/B00IOT4RSA Since it comes with a $100 blink charger credit and there's a Blink DC fast Charge just over a mile from my house, that's certainly tempting.
