The Best Part Of Driving An EV In California May Be Ending

  • California started issuing the bumper stickers to applicants in 1999. Currently, battery-electric vehicles (BEV), hydrogen fuel vehicles, some plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models, and vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) qualify for a sticker.

The article from CarBuzz discusses the potential end of EV access to HOV lanes in California. Initially, to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), California allowed EVs to use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes regardless of the number of passengers. However, this perk might be coming to an end due to several reasons. Firstly, the state has seen a significant increase in EV adoption, reducing the need for such incentives. Secondly, there's an issue of fairness as the HOV lanes become congested with EVs, negating the original purpose of these lanes to reduce traffic congestion. Additionally, the federal government has not renewed the program allowing states to issue special HOV lane access decals for EVs, which expired in 2022. California has been extending these decals on a year-by-year basis, but there's uncertainty about future extensions. This change could impact EV owners who have come to rely on this benefit, potentially affecting EV sales and the state's environmental goals.
