US	Hawaii	12/10/2025	Current	12/10/2025	Collateral Services All	All Leased Vehicles Located in HI	Announcement Details Hawaii Motor Vehicle Use Tax Certification Hawaii recently started enforcing in-person stamping on the G27 Motor Vehicle Use Tax Certification. This means the driver must physically visit their local Tax Office to have the form stamped before Element can proceed with vehicle title and registration. What’s New Hawaii now requires proof that the 0.5% use tax has been paid. For Stock Orders, the Hawaii selling dealer will include the tax on the invoice. For Courtesy Delivery (CD) Factory Orders, the tax is paid directly by Element’s Tax Department through a G-45 tax return. The completed G-45 will be sent to the driver, who must present it at their local Hawaii County Tax Office to obtain the required tax stamp. When **Effective Immediately – This enforcement, which began in summer 2025, is now actively applied across all Hawaii counties. The only exception is Honolulu County, which does not require the G-27 to be stamped prior to registration. Honolulu County participates in the use tax payment verification process, but not in-person stamping. Why The stricter enforcement of Form G27 procedures—such as requiring in-person stamping—helps ensure that the form is authentic, reducing the risk of fraudulent tax claims. What or Who is Impacted All Leased Vehicles Located in HI What is impacted Lease Rental Tax State Applies to: Stock Orders, Dealer Orders, or Direct Purchases Sales Tax Timing: The selling dealer will invoice and remit the tax to the County Tax Office.

Take monthly payment and multiple by state tax rate 4.5% = monthly tax. These documents confirm that Element is leasing the vehicle and authorize the selling dealer to correctly apply tax on the factory invoice. Sales Tax Exception Applies to: CD Factory Orders for Initial Title and License and future State Transfers Sales Tax Timing: Collateral requests the G-45 General Excise/Use Tax Return from Tax via a Service Cloud. This is paid directly by Element on the G-45 tax return (on-line account). Additional Required Driver Documentation: • G-45 General Excise/Use Tax Return • G-27 Motor Vehicle Use Tax Certificate • Statement of Existing Lease Agreement with table that includes the purchase price or FMV for State Transfer divided by amort term = monthly payment. Take monthly payment and multiple by state tax rate 4.5% = monthly tax.

What This Means for Drivers • Bring Required Documents: Drivers must take their driver’s license and the G-27 Motor Vehicle Use Tax Certificate to their local Tax Office. • Sign in Person: The G-27 must be signed in the presence of a tax clerk. • Stamping Process: The tax clerk will stamp the G-27, confirming that the 0.5% use tax has been paid and the form is officially validated. • Element will provide a prepaid UPS shipping label to return the stamped G-27. • Why It Matters: This step is required to ensure full compliance with Hawaii tax laws before the vehicle can proceed to title and registration. What you Need to Know** • To comply with Hawaii’s updated enforcement procedures, drivers must present their driver’s license at their local Tax Office and sign the G-27 Motor Vehicle Use Tax Certificate in the presence of a tax clerk.

US	California	9/26/2025	Current	9/26/2026	Tolls & Violations	Owners of electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles who relied on CAV decals for solo access to HOV lanes.	Announcement Details Federal Government Ends Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decal Program California In California, the Clean Air Vehicle decal program allowed certain low-emission and zero-emission vehicles (like electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell cars) to use carpool lanes even with a single occupant. However, this program is ending on September 30, 2025, and CAV decals will no longer be valid starting October 1, 2025. What's New  Solo drivers with CAV decals will no longer be allowed to use carpool (HOV) lanes.  Discounted tolls and other benefits tied to the decals will also end. Why The program is ending due to the expiration of federal authorization under Section 166 of Title 23 of the U.S. Code. When Effective Oct. 1, 2025 No grace period — enforcement begins October 1, and violations may result in fines. What or Who is Impacted Owners of electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles who relied on CAV decals for solo access to HOV lanes. Tips for Affected Drivers Carpool Strategically Pair up with coworkers, neighbors, or use carpool apps to meet HOV requirements. Adjust Travel Times Shift commute to off-peak hours to avoid congestion. Explore Public Transit Options Consider rail, bus, or park-and-ride services to reduce solo driving. Use Real-Time Traffic Apps Tools like Waze or Google Maps can help reroute around traffic hotspots. Check for Employer Incentives Some employers offer commuter benefits, vanpool programs, or transit subsidies. Review Toll Lane Alternatives If using toll lanes, research pricing and payment options (e.g., FasTrak). Stay Informed Monitor updates from the California DMV or Caltrans for any future programs or changes.
