Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.
Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever’s left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀
Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?
Entirely self interested opinion, but I think older fuel-efficient cars ought to qualify for hov too - driving an efficient car that already exists is definitely better for the environment than junking it for a new giant electric SUV/truck.
