While the decision to allow 5,000 electric and natural gas vehicles to use carpool lanes will have virtually no impact on traffic, the move is a huge victory for EV proponents. However, with monthly lease fees at $400-$500 per month, the vehicles are still outside the range of most consumers. Opponents charge that the state is trying to force a new technology on consumers.
