You see it around here in parking garages etc, they say "Hybrid, EV or Low Emission vehicles" etc. Nothing that can be enforced...

acronyms are abbreviations using first letters that spell a pronounceable word (eg., NASA). saw this: "While all acronyms are abbreviations, not all abbreviations are acronyms" - Dictionary.com

I think you're right on that. I still don't know what chdm actually stands for. I just guessed Chinese Domestic Market.

very common in my area maybe 10-15 years ago, until every other car became a hybrid in California. Not sure what qualifies as "low emissions vehicle" so anyone parked there. Now, these have completely disappeared and I only see EV online parking. At one of the largest Westfield malls in my area, each parking garage level has a row of EV only parking spaces that dont even have chargers attached to them, near the elevators.
