Then the beef is with the regulating body that gives them out, not with the drivers. To say a driver is obnoxious (original post not your quote I know) because they followed the rule that you don't like is not really treating the PIP driver fair.

Agree with most of your post minispeed, even if a bit preachy
As usual in your six months here very thoughtful.
Commend your commitment to cleaner driving.
At $437 per month for four years it is costing you a lot more than most in US.
Why is US the only place in the world that Nissan sells LEAF at a reasonable price :?:
Back on topic:
I would point out that the OP Mike's complaint was HOV lane behaviour.
Somehow the discussion morphed into complaints about occupying charging stations.
I agree that anyone that can plug in should.
Hope that when I can afford to replace my non-hybrid 2009 Altima ( would have been hybrid but they only sold in a few states), that there will be many more plug ins with significant all electric range.
But no one whether all electric or plug in should be sitting in a charging spot for any significant amount of time without charging.
And you are correct that most of the HOV lane complaints should be directed at the authorities regulating them.
They are making a complete mess and accomplishing very little good.
