Can electric cars drive in the carpool lane in Arizona?

I live in Arizona and I was hoping that an electric car would make my commute to work more efficient in more than one way. Obviously, it would save me the money spent on fuel, but I heard that electric cars are also eligible to use the carpool lane, even if there’s only one passenger on board. Is this true?

If you’re a daily commuter, an
electric car
 can certainly help you cut down on energy costs overall, so good thinking!
At one point in time, energy-efficient vehicles such as hybrid and electric cars were allowed unrestricted access to the HOV lanes in
Arizona
 per the Energy Efficient Plate Program. This was a program created by the Arizona Department of Transportation to incentivize more drivers to look into getting an eco-friendly car.
Unfortunately, as of 2020 this program was discontinued in order to comply with federal regulations, so electric cars are no longer granted access to HOV lanes.
With this said, if you’re still looking into buying an electric car, you’ll want to make sure you have the best
car insurance
 policy possible for the best price. Download the

How far should you park from a stop sign?
I live in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. I only moved about a week ago from Indy and I had no idea that parking was going to be a nightmare. There’s always an open spot right next to a stop sign, but I wasn’t sure how far away from it I have to park. By law, what’s the distance I need to park away from a stop sign?
