I still know of places that have a "hybrid or electric car parking only" sign, even though there is no charger there. It works fine unless there is a shortage of parking spaces. Once there's a shortage, the situation changes: now you're not just saying that the non-hybrid folks have to walk further; you're telling them that they may have to walk much, much further, or even not come at all. Not such a big deal if there are often EVs or Hybrids in those spots, but if those spots are usually empty, you just create resentment. And resentment plays into the hands of the "long tailpipe" crowd. It's not just EV spots where this happens: here at work there is a shortage of parking, but the handicapped spots and pregnant-mother spots are often empty. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
