Default Hybrid parking only..

This is the first time I've seen this. I was at a local store (Mountain Equipment Co-op) that is geared to an outdoor lifestyle and the environmentally conscious. Anyway, I pulled into the parking lot and there beside the handicap parking spots were two spots reserved for "hybrid, electric and other low emission vehicles" (or something along those lines).

Just a little perk for driving a hybrid (my car insurance company also offers a discount for hybrids).

Pretty cool. I'm trying to get special parking at work. Recently they offered employees charging stations free of charge. But I have yet to see an electric car, at least one that wasn't owned by the company. One of them looks like a mini Hummer.

We was visiting Norway last year and the hotel we stayed at had free of charge parking and electricity for electric cars just outside the entrance. So we asked if we could park our hybrid there but they just laughed and said it was for electric vehicles only. Not hybrids.

Bummer.

Default Indoor parking lot

My wife's company, where she works... any of the employees who work for the various companies in the high rise building and who pay for indoor parking, have a section reserved for HYBRID vehicles...

They have privileged spots, in that they do not need to "spiral" down level after level, to try to find an open spot. The hybrids get to park on level 1 of 8 lol...

Cheers...
