In Oslo, the bus lanes on the highways are only accidentally available to EVs currently.
They were open for years as a means to foster EV adoption. But once sales took off, the local government tightened the screws — you needed an EV and also at least two people in the car to get access to the bus lane.
But! When they printed the new signs, somehow a double negative slipped through, and the text on the (many) signs said that you could only use the bus lane if you were driving alone in an EV. Obviously not the intent.
But currently, all the signs have the double negative condition crossed out, and all EVs continue to be able to use the bus lanes.
