Wouldn't that risk turning a government anti-EV, since they would be addicted to the revenue from fuel?

- intopieces 11y agoThis is a good point. It's important to remember, though, that local and state governments think in the short term. In the short term, gas vehicles are going to be around for a long time. The average age of cars on U.S. roads is at a record 11.5 years, according to research firm IHS Automotive.[0] That is to say, if 2015 were the last year anyone could buy a gasoline-fueled car, we'd be looking at 2027 for that last batch to age out.
