But you missed two salient points - The first is government sucking everyone in with buying incentives and half-truths regarding environmental benefit and second, how they are going to deal with the loss of fuel revenue which will end up being a means to increase revenue. Rest assured this move to EV is not a dedicated environmental move.For my state, I get charged $135/year for the privilege of driving an EV. That's more than I paid in gas tax revenue.
I have no problem with paying a mileage based tax, if that's what they end up with.
We need taxes to pay for our society. I'm not against paying them. Obviously to a point. But if i give up paying a gas tax, I'm okay with them recovering that money somewhere else.
