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)
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.
