Big change coming for California drivers: starting October 1, electric and hybrid vehicles will lose their solo access to carpool lanes. For years, that clean air decal meant you could zip past traffic even without passengers, but the program is expiring unless Congress steps in. This could mean more congestion in regular lanes and less incentive for folks to go electric. Nearly 30% of EV owners say perks like this influenced their purchase. Will losing the HOV lane benefit slow down California’s push for cleaner cars? How do you feel about the shift? #Transportation #California #EVs
