Electric Vehicle Drivers Like HOV-lane Access

Looks like electric vehicle sales are picking up.  What’s the attraction that lies behind the surge (pardon the pun)?  According to this, it’s HOV-lane access for EV drivers.  That may sound pretty dumb to you folks in Casper, Wyoming.  But if you’re in Washington, DC or Southern California, it’s a big deal.

I credit Brian Wynne, president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), the lobby group, for having nailed this; when I spoke with him in preparation for my next book (Renewable Energy — Following the Money), he predicted that this would be big.
