Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. ๐Ÿ˜€

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Personally I want to see a study done to actually see how effective these HOV lanes are.

When I commute each day, it seems like 90% of the vehicles in there are cheaters and i regret that I'm not the type of person to cheat like that.

Either enforce the rules , or don't bother with HOV lanes
