It’s amazing watching the big government swamp try to sell this. I love these cars and I have two of them. But I recognize that these vehicles have limitations. And currently, they can’t tax the fuel that these use for several reasons. The biggest reason is it will make the car even more expensive to own and kill the sales.
I have a new one that I drive in Florida. I never have to go to a gas station, and rarely visit a charging station. I get 300 miles on a charge. I now pay zero taxes on gasoline.
When I go to Sams club and see people in line for gas, I’m thankful that I’m not one of them. Every morning my car has 300 miles of range.
So what will they do next? They will start to raise the gasoline tax to make up the difference as gas consumption goes down. This will screw the person who refuses to buy these cars.
If these ding dongs have any sense, they would leave the gas tax alone and impose some sort of charge on EVs, maybe a tax on charging them, to help fund the roads.
Or just find some other way to fund roads altogether. Most Western countries just fund the roads from their general budgets; there aren’t dedicated funds like we have here.
The scum will figure out a way to put some kind of meter on EV’s to suck mileage tax out of hapless owners.
There will be a mileage tax on both EV’s and gas-powered cars if these communists have their way.
