This is in regard to electric car owners getting special treatment, unless these owners have some form of photovoltaic system that charges their electric cars when the sun is out, I don't believe they should receive special privileges.  They ended up buying electricity from HECO to which they make most of their electricity from burnt fossil fuel. Another issue is that even if they have photovoltaic system at their home if they don't have battery storage when their vehicle is at work during the electric producing time of the day, they will ended up charging their cars at night when their photovoltaic system is not working and in the end ended up buying electricity from HECO burning fossil fuel to which in the end the environment these environmental wingnut are trying to protect.
