- ryandrake 3y agoIt will be tough to get the public on the side of taxing gas to subsidize electric charging. At least where I am, Teslas and other fancy electric cars are still seen as a "rich person's flex." Poor and middle class people tend to drive gas cars and rich people tend to drive electric. So asking people to vote to increase gasoline tax on themselves so that a few rich EV owners can be subsidized--you can imagine how that will go down.
