You don't think you'll be paying a significant electricity tax once ICE cars are fully phased out?
Also, I don't know what you drive but my diesel has quite a bit more range than 350 km. Yours must be quite the guzzler.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoNo such tax can be effectively charged as part of an electricity bill, at least not for areas with enough insolation to have encouraged people to have their own PV arrays for charging. Some sort of tax will be necessary to replace the fuel tax, but I'd be very surprisedby some attempt at a general electricity tax, or for that matter, a charging-station tax (since that won't affect the majority of EVs).
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoYeah, Texas already charges an additional $400 for EV registration and then $200 annually.
- vel0city 3y agoIMO it should just be a mileage check at inspection time. Miles travelled * weight classification coefficient * emissions/fuel type modifier + base registration fees = total yearly car taxes. But then Texas also just got rid of inspections... :(
