What kind of world do the elites get free parking & the masses have to pay? Not only were they not paying the parking fee, the electric is free as well!

Wealthy Progressives certainly love giving themselves perks for being so elite.

Wait until the owners try to trade or sell these duds when the batteries start to fail. Nobody in their right mind will want them. Suckers.

Good "green" intentions slamming up against hard reality. Welcome to the real world, suckers. Ditto to the windies and sunnies, too.

It´s symbolism over substance, nothing more, nothing less.

Wait till the boobs who bought electric cars find out about the proposed tax to cover the gasoline taxes they don´t pay that pay for highways and their maintenance.

There was talk of that yesterday - either a per-mile-driven fee or a flat fee of, say, $100/year.

I notice that most of these freeloaders are doctors, engineers, executives etc. Shouldn´t they be paying their "fair share"?

Also, who buys an expensive vehicle for free parking?

Paragraph 4 is a fun one. toyota won´t be using mr. luu for any prius testimonials.

Saw some interesting consumer survey results last year. The average owner of these cars is a late middle age, high income, status conscious male. By and large they are unlikely to buy another because they have found that the savings in operating costs do not offset the much higher up front investment.

Typical green type. He drives all over the place and flies out of LA up to 10 times a month. He probably consumes more energy than my entire neighborhood and would lecture us all about using a clothes dryer. We´re doomed.

#8 - the surveys didn´t mention that the typical buyer is likely unable (or unwilling) to perform a cost/benefit analysis on his "status" car.

Anyone who thinks that driving an electric car running on an environmentally unfriendly battery, using electricity from a fossil fuel power generation plant and an expensive transmission network, is saving the planet needs lessons on basic physics.

And anyone who thinks that spending $10K more for a Prius than for a Civic in order to get 15mpg more, is economically prudent needs lessons in basic math.

Why should I cover the price of someone else´s free parking and energy? Especially when the only folks who can afford an electric card are in the top 5% of the counrty. I tired of this nonsense. We need to fix this.

A great example of how economic incentives effect behavior.

The electric cars are "green" scam is so illogical. As someone else once cogently pointed out, electric car owners are just as polluting as the rest of us, except they get to have their pollution up front.

So the guy parks his version of the "metrosexual muscle car" at the airport while we subsidize it and he takes his business to Canada.What a country!

This individual is disgusting from several aspects. I wonder if a buyer in the midwest would get similar percs.

There are no ´good green intentions´. The invisible hand is always in play - individuals looking out for their own self interests.

And how is a coal-powered car ´green´?

One of the comments at the end of the article wrote about a friend of his who bragged that he never had to put gasoline in his vehicle…but everywhere he went he expected to plug in….free of charge, to everyones electrical outlet.

So, lower income California taxpayers are footing the bill for the rich guy´s parking? Liberals are beneath contempt.

Sounds like a program that deserves to be expanded.

Aren´t these the same people who got about $7,000 credit off the purchase thanks to Obama. Why should they get anything more than anyone else just because they were stupid enough to cater to the greenie fraud.

Are people ever going to use common sense again??? I really think that a large percentage of society has lost its mind!! These electric cars are just expensive toys and not "green" at all. I will say I am glad that they are finally stopping the subsidization.
