Not sure if others are aware, but several states offer HOV permits for drivers of a BEV. Maryland is one of these states. Another advantage of driving a BEV.

Minnesota has a credit program.

NY does too, but you have to put stickers all over the vehicle.

I hear you, if you have driven into DC using 270 you will love the HOV lanes. I am willing to put on a sticker to save 40 min in traffic!

WOW, I missed that I was so excited to see this and did not look at the date; thanks for the heads up.

We don’t have any HOV lanes near Buffalo. But it also gives a slight discount on the EZ pass thruway rates but again not worth it for me. But for you it sounds great.

ugh, glad I never bothered to get one of those stickers. I would be extremely pissed.

Protip: Just put the stickers on magnets cut to size to display on all 4 sides. Remove when not in use and only use it for the vehicle in which it is authorized on.

The point of the sticker is so law enforcement can see you are labeled to not get an HOV ticket/violation.

This said, the all aluminum body might be a problem in trying to do this lol.

In Ontario Canada you can drive in the HOV lanes with just the green EV/Hybrid license plates, that's all you need.
