EV Mooch - Parking for Free
I have heard some rumors about electric cars being able to park for free in certain areas, and based on some quick and dirty google searching, I've been able to confirm two of these bits of useful information.
In addition to already being able to drive in the carpool lane by myself, the city of Santa Monica and LAX offer free parking to electric cars:
Santa Monica (Soviet Monica as I usually refer to them for their borderline socialist leanings) allows electric cars with WHITE clean air stickers (sorry silly Prius) to park for free at city meters for the maximum permitted time of that space: city of santa monica website
LAX allows electric cars to park in parking structure #1 and #6 for up to 30 DAYS!!!! I'm not quite sure exactly how they determine what is and isn't an Electric Car, but seeing how a Chevy Volt, which doesn't qualify for the Carpool lane and sucks down normal dinosaur gasoline qualifies, I can't imagine why the hydrogen using yet zero emission F-Cell wouldn't: lax parking page
I also read the City of Hermosa Beach also offers free parking at their meters, but I have not been able to find any official statement showing this.
The cities of San Jose and Sacramento also permit free parking in municipal lots but at this present time, there isn't a hydrogen infrastructure in place that would permit me to drive up there without towing the car from Los Angeles.
