I just think having everybody forced to drive EVs will be a disaster.
You Early Adopters can enjoy them, knock yourself out.
I’ve enjoyed gadgets my whole life. There’s no way I’d take
a pass on trying out an electric car.
Look at the progress in these cars over the last decade. That
is going to continue.
If you think taxes on gas will continue, as I do, are you also
understanding that it won’t be a year before taxes on miles
driven will be applied to electric vehicles.
While I’d agree some of the taxation is to drive folks out of
ICE cars and trucks, it’s more simply an overreach of the
government entities to take our earnings away for their
pipe dreams.
EVs will be taxed as heavily as ICE cars are in the long
run.
This is also about control. Over the next 15 years, I expect
to see a move toward doing away with driver operated
vehicles.
They hope to take the joy out of vehicle ownership, so we
can all be at the mercy of the collective transportation
system.
Already evident in California which runs out of electricity. But not for the reasons claimed in the article. EVs in heavy traffic don't use up the battery.
