What’s an HOV lane?
2 comments

"High Occupancy Vehicle", typically a car with 3 or more people in it. To allow use of the lanes for electric cars is technically cheating.
Also known as a "carpool lane" - requires 2 or 3 passengers to use, and is a way to ease congestion on freeways.
And in a lot of jurisdictions electric vehicles even with one passenger is allowed in them.
