Currently live in AZ and moving to Texas shortly. Kind of surprised that there are no "perks" for EV owners in Texas, at least I can't find any. For example, in AZ EV cars are allowed to drive in the HOV lanes, no questions asked. Also allowed to park in carpool parking spots, if you want to. Can anyone share any perks for EV's in Texas? Thanks!

Unaware of any "perks" for owning a Tesla in Texas. Can't use the HOV lanes. No income taxes - so no EV tax credit. And the Texas car dealership lobby is so strong that when the legislature meets (for 4 months every 2 years), they've been able to continue blocking Tesla from selling cars in the Tesla "Galleries" (which hasn't stopped Tesla from selling A LOT of Tesla cars in Texas).
There are some EV chargers at airports and in public garages. And some places will have a few spots marked for EV or "low emission vehicles" only (though I often see pickup trucks and large SUVs using those spots).
Perk: sit in your car listening to music in your garage without dying of carbon monoxide poisoning.
