I was thinking the same thing. A tunnel depressing for BEVs only would still need ventilation to clear smoke in case of a fire and to clear out any dangerous gases that somehow got into the tunnel, but the amount of ventilation needed would likely be less.

Agreed. AFAIK, only the Blair Park & Ride requires a Gold Pass for all of its spaces, but it only has 21 parking spots. Baseline requires a permit weekdays before 11 am, though apparently it fills up by 9:00am, so you kind of need the pass. Both of them are inside the greenbelt, so not a preferred option for those who live outside of it anyway. AFAIK, all of the other Park & Rides have free parking.
EDIT: Looking at https://www.octranspo.com/en/our-services/park-ride/, both Jeanne d'Arc and Ray Friel Park & Rides also require a pass. The following have at least some free parking:- Canadian Tire Centre
- Carp
- Chapel Hill
- Eagleson
- Fallowfield
- Greenboro
- Innovation
- Leitrim
- Millennium
- Nepean Woods
- Place d'Orléans
- Riverview
- Strandherd
- Terry Fox
- Trim
