Illinois government has too much time on their hands to think up these stupid, crazy notions.
One thousand dollars a year can buy a lot of gas.
Now there’s an incentive...lol
It is "progressive", Nikki. Choke on it.
Politicians smelling your money again.
“Nicoletta Skarlatos, 56, told the Chicago Tribune. “I thought Illinois was progressive and would want to encourage EV (electric vehicle) ownership.”
Fool.

If taxes actually went to those projects as described, one might object a bit less. But when Dimbulbcrats raise taxes, we’re sponsoring crime, corruption, sleaze, kickbacks, ineptness, and worst of all - Dorkbamas and Klyntons (who, of course, cover the entire gamut described above).
Gotta cover those pensions and gov-co salaries.
Illinois demon rat motto: you can never be too rich, too thin, write too many laws, or raise taxes too much.
Fixed it.
This is the problem... Most states fun road and highway maintenance through gas tax. Kind makes sense right? Well more and more people are getting fuel efficient cars and electric cars. Instead of raising tax rates, some States came up with this. I wish States would look within their own budgets FIRST. But road maintenance is a problem everywhere.
I find Tesla’s position amusing because Elon Musk obtained much of his money from the taxpayer and now he wants to protect the taxpayer? Please.
Who own most of the electrical companies in Illinois.
Democrat voters = useful idiots. Once you give in to socialism, they’ll keep you giving and giving until there’s nothing left for them to take.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
way to go Illinois.
I predict a lot of Illinois owners selling their electric car out of state if this foolishness passes.
“I thought Illinois was progressive ....”
They are progressive....they progressively take more and more of your $$$ until they run out of other people’s money.
Chicago is now out of other people’s money.
One party state - if you’re an Illinoisan and you think it’s your money, you’re about to find out otherwise.
“Illinois officials believe the legislation will raise $2.4 billion for future projects”
.......
Counting your chickens before you break those eggs is guaranteed failure.
People will get rid of their electric cars in response to this foolish tax. Therefore, no tax dollars collected.
What a great way to incentivize people. LMAO.
