Why should society be subsidising road damages by penalizing light cars?
It is giving people an incentive to buy larger range electric cars which also need more resources for batteries. Lighter electric cars can also use smaller motors for the same acceleration.
- Robotbeat 4y agoI have nothing against incentivizing smaller electric cars. But the problem is folks will just buy fossil fuel cars of the same class because they’re slightly lighter (also can be weighed with an empty gas tank).
- freemint 4y agoSo what placing wrong incentives because they neutralise a bad incentive in one component is still bad.
