I live in a single family dwelling so it was easy for me to stall a charger for my car.  Without this I don't think an electric car would be all that great unless you install solar panels on the roof, which I think might be option for the Tesla?  I enjoy the free parking but i generally would get this anyway since I am now disabled.  I certainly don't want to have to rely upon public charging stations.  I didn't know you can go in the high occupancy lanes with an EV.  I think it is good for the state to offer these benefits as electric cars are more efficient than gas cars and even if you have to rely upon HI electric for power, your cost per mile will be lower so it means less oil burned.
