Electric car Tesla slapped with $15,000 tax surcharge
- greenyoda 11y agoSince electrical power in Singapore is generated from fossil fuels (90% natural gas, 10% oil[1]), why shouldn't electric vehicles there be subject to their carbon tax? (There's no mention of this guy having solar cells to recharge his car's battery, so I assume he recharges it from the grid.)
