I can’t read the full thing due to the paywall, but having read the intro I would recommend states against adopting what Victoria did here in Aus - introduce a special EV tax. While the rest of the world is trying to incentivise the move away from fossil fuels any which way, Victoria decided that buying EVs was cheating your taxes and represented a loophole. So they slapped a special tax just on them. With EVs being more expensive than ICE cars anyway, it really doesn’t help make it attractive to make the switch. Yes, states need revenue, and a fuel tax has effectively been a good way to tax by road use. We’ll need another way. But let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot while doing it eh?
