I just learned that there exists a green ez-pass and the HCHII is eligible. If you live in the tri-state area, it's probably worth it for you to get it.
Here are the details, I'm filling out the application now:
Green Pass
Travel off-peak in a low-emission vehicle with the Green Pass and save.
The Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan rewards drivers using low-emission vehicles with a substantial discount.
Drivers with qualifying vehicles who register for the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan will receive a green E-ZPass tag and be charged a specially discounted toll during off-peak hours.
* Green Pass customers are charged a $4 toll during off-peak hours.
* To enroll in the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan, call 800-333-8655 (New York Service Center). Be sure to have your account number or tag number and PIN for account access.
* The Port Authority Green Pass discount only applies to Port Authority bridges and tunnels, though your Green Pass can be used at any crossing or road that accepts E-ZPass as a form of toll payment.
* Vehicles that qualify for Green Pass are certified to the California Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard and achieve a United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more, or are pre-model year 2005 hybrid vehicles which are certified to the California Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard and achieve a USEPA highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more.
o Toyota Prius Hybrid, model year 2004 - 2010
o Honda Civic Hybrid, model year 2006 - 2010
o Honda FCX Clarity, model year 2008 - 2010
o Tesla Roadster, model year 2008 - 2010

o Honda Insight Hybrid, model year 2000 - 2004
o Toyota RAV4 EV, model year 2000 - 2003
o Chevrolet S10 Electric, model year 1997 - 1998
*Please note: 2007-2009 Honda Insights do not meet the eligibility criteria because they are not compliant with the SULEV emission requirements and no other alternate fuel or hybrid vehicles are eligible for the program at this time.
