Democrats also added a tax for anyone with solar panels and wanted to tax ev drivers to fund the roads (because they are paying less of a gas tax).
essive•9mo ago
Couple of references for road funding ev tax: - https://slate.com/business/2021/03/vmt-tax-buttigieg-driving... - https://www.nwnewsnetwork.org/transportation/2023-02-22/demo...

We obviously need to do this at some point. Now isn't the time IMO.
philipallstar•9mo ago
This is that state capture by Tesla I've heard about.
bhandziuk•9mo ago
I already pay $220 /yr to register my EV in Georgia. That's far more than I would pay if I were driving an ICE car. Does this mean that I'd have to pay $420 /yr if this passed?
p0w3n3d•9mo ago
It's always the same, and it had to be like that.

1. Subsidy, give freebies, special privileges (in Poland we have ev cars allowed to drive Bus lanes)

2. Once the market has been saturated, revoke slowly privileges

3. Later move on to normal requirements/taxes/payments - BAU

(Roads won't fund themselves)

platevoltage•9mo ago
I agree. If EV's ever become ubiquitous in the US, these benefits would need to go away.

We aren't even close to that here. Republicans have turned electric vehicles into a political issue. That being said, it does make me a bit mad watching someone in a brand new Tesla zoom past me in the HOV lane while I'm stuck in traffic in my '86 Mercedes that I've kept running all these years, burned mostly renewable diesel in (previously waste vegetable oil), and have caused way less emissions given that it was manufactured when I was 3 years old, and not replaced every several years like a typical car is.

An EV passing by me in a city won't harm me or my children's health.

You with your 86 diesel mercedes manufactured long before emission limits will definitely hurt much much more.

Noxes from that would probably get me swearing at you instantly...

platevoltage•9mo ago
I don't think that me driving past you in a city is going to affect you or your children's health in any significant way. My point is a bit more macro than you are making it out to be.
testysting34•9mo ago
> I don't think that me driving past you in a city is going to affect you or your children's health in any significant way.

Can you stay behind your car while it's running and breath the noxes?

Do you think other people enjoy that?

I have been stuck behind some recently and had to turn on air recirculation.

Of course it is going to affect, it is VERY polluting, 86 is before any pollution norms.

Noxes from diesel are cancer causing and dieselgate was a thing.

> My point is a bit more macro than you are making it out to be.

On a macro level, a city full of your cars is a very polluted and unhealthy one.

A city full of EVs is clean.

So you don't really care about the environment or people, you just like attention.

Another point, 40+ year old cars over here are a rich people hobby, they pay no taxes since they are clasic cars and are very expensive to buy and maintain, if you lived in one of these places you could sell your classic car to some rich person and buy yourself multiple EVs. You can buy second hand and avoid your perceived production pollution.
