Re: Did he get a ticket?
The sticker only costs $22 here in California, which is not even 5 gallons of gas(petrol) locally.
More to the point, it expires. This makes the primary selling point of the electric car (ability to solo in the HOV lanes during rush hour) evaporate at or near resale time. Sorry, greenaholics, most purchasers don't give a shit about saving the environment, they are instead helping to stuff the HOV lanes just as full as the regular lanes in the name of "convenience". As soon as that goes away, sales will plummet. Some say sales are already plummeting for this reason. Here's the CA DMV web page on the subject.
