Mileage-based taxes are already being formulated because modern, efficient vehicles have meant lower gas tax revenues. EVs just add to that "pain".
It's less a product of the petroleum lobby than the desire to keep tax revenues high.
- rdtwo 5y agoIn my progressive state EVs get taxed more than gas vehicles and plug in hybrids get hit with both.
