lemon Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelazydogsback Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm not sure the 400h with it's milage is what they had in mind :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemon Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah...still it gets better mileage than a lot of other SUVs in it's size class. The sign is not very specific - I mean, could I park a VW diesel Jetta or Golf there? What about a Subaru Outback PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle)? Personally, I would do away with the 'low emissions' part and just stick to hybrid/electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have been to the parking lot in MEC, and what a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMEONE ELSE'S GOT MY NAME Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 They have those at Tysons Corner mall... Fresh & Easy Grocery Store in So Cal has hybrid parking too. Now that we have an EV ... I'm hoping they'll go whole hog, and install L2 charge stations too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
