I put a California transponder in a similar place, but at the top of the windshield and next to the cover behind the mirror. Worked fine getting read by the toll scanners, but the sticky Velcro eventually fell down, leaving the transponder on the floor. Then I just stuck it on the dashboard, which also works fine with the toll scanners.

Toll Transponder placement on 2021 Bolt Premier windshield
I have had several "Toll Unpaid" signals with PANYNJ EZ-Pass, and my monthly ledger shows delayed account reimbursements that appear to be related to license plate scanning rather than showing my transponder number. I found few posts here about the Subject issue, but this one,
www.chevybolt.org
has the advice
1) Passenger side
2) Just outboard of the dustpan
3) Just below where the glass transitions from shaded to clear
However, the attached photo shows that I (accidentally) followed exactly this advice. I concede that I'm actually touching the shading border, but I placed the transponder so that I could not see it behind the rearview mirror, a possible item 4 on the quoted list. This photo is posted upright, so the transponder is vertical (Edit: the lettering reads like the spine of a book-the photo below shows exactly what you see live, seated in the front passenger seat), as opposed to the way I had it in my previous cars, which didn't have the big "dustpan" installation.
Does anyone have additional data on this issue? Thanks.

Not to change the subject, the Port Authority of NJ & NJ uses NY State's "list" of high-mileage vehicles, and NY State still has not certified Bolts later than 2019. That means that I no longer get the (substantial) discount for a "Clean Pass" vehicle that I used to get with my 2015 Prius.
Where to place highway toll pass
My new Bolt is closer to arriving so while I wait for it, I've been reading through the owner's manual. With various sensors integrated into the window or by the rear view mirror, I'm not sure where to put my highway EZ Pass? Normally I have placed this right behind the rear view mirror. If...
