another thing in today's announcement:
"In addition to $6 million for purchase incentives, the CEV Program will receive $890,000 for further investments in programs under development to expand public and residential charging infrastructure and encourage fleet purchases of CEVs."
I wonder what the details of this will include? might there be any rebates for home charger installation?

Oh, to "encourage "fleet purchases" ?
So this incentive is now geared to corporations, not private denizens?
This is getting better by the minute.

to add insult to injury to Tesla owners, imagine if the decal is actually one of those magnetic ones, just like ICBC's "L" and "N" signs

I hope it would be on the front licence plate? After all it's for the HOV enforcing officers to look at, right?

Then I'd rather not take HOV if this is the case

It said province wide unless restricted by signage, there are a few transit only lanes that I doubt will get opened up. If it isn't for multiple occupancy now it probably won't be for EV's either

Looks like the 77k cap is effectively immediately.... totally sucks as I placed my order factoring in the 5k rebate. Would have bought a used one if it wasn't for the rebate I thought I would get, not.... arghhh.
I think I'd go to my local MLA's office and request (demand) a short face-to-face on the issue. They should rightfully allow the rebate to those who can show their order was made prior to the announcement. It's not like you can order a Tesla in the morning and take delivery that afternoon.
And perhaps while you're there, you could get your MLA to explain how keeping Tesla buyers out of the rebate program makes it better... the luxury PST rate of 10% pulls in money even after the $5k rebate... a cheaper EV at 7% tax is a net cost to the government. Encouraging people to buy Teslas with the $5k rebate would actually help to fund the rebate program.
The more I ponder this, the more my eyes hurt from rolling around in my skull...

I emailed asked that very question here is the response.
Hello Don:
Thank you for inquiry. The regulation states that to be eligible to access a HOV lane the owner of an electric motor vehicle must display a permit, in the form issued by the Minister responsible for the administration of the Transportation Act, on the vehicle's rear bumper or rear window. The decal must be clearly visible to law enforcement, but the regulation does not specify that it has to be permanently fastened to the vehicle.

Lets hope its the same size as shown on the application form and that it can go on the rear window glass.

I saved the picture from the website, then printed it in colour on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper that I will tape inside my back window before going downtown until the real sticker arrives. Using electrical tape, it's easy to take on and off and it only needs to be on when using the HOV.
Nice idea. I hear the Ministry of Transportation expects a quick turn around to get these in the hands of EV owners.In the meantime, feel free to re-tweet this please.
MSRP cap not fair. Costly CleanTech needs incentives to make people leap into an EV. Don't prevent, it pays forward!
