I don’t think it’s an especially unpopular opinion. The President has recently proposed exactly that. I’m tentatively opposed because it’s regressive and I’m suspicious of the total cycle net benefits of EV, but it’s a perfectly reasonable position.
- belltaco 6y agoHow would it be regressive if it's going to come from a tax increase on people making over $400k/year? (AFAIK).
- bradleyjg 6y agoIt’s regressive in isolation. Only rich people are buying electric cars. I don’t think saying the money comes from rich people in the first place changes the analysis.
- kmonsen 6y agoIt’s regressive, but it also makes it possible for less wealthy people to get EVs so in that way not really. Also not everything is about that, we have other priorities as well like mitigating climate change.
