Note: I can only speak to the DC/MD/VA region but HOV lane privileges for hybrids and all-electrics aren't being granted anymore. The HOV lane on I-66 in VA was always clogged because so many folks bought Priuses that it defeated the purpose.

Agreed with all the other pros.

"it defeated the purpose."

Unless said purpose was reducing pollution emissions.

Or spurring hybrid/electric development.

We have money down on a Model 3; my wife has the longer commute. If carpool lane privileges are set to expire (SF Bay Area) before it comes out, and something else (like the Bolt) looks compelling at the time, we may jump to that.
