I get EVs don’t pay through gas tax, and they’re generally heavier so do more damage.
But I don’t think we should be doing anything to disincentivize EVs. We should be pushing them more.
Just raise the registration fees on all cars, consider it a pollution tax for ICE cars.
Of course none of this matters. We all know why this legislation was pushed. And this debate I’m discussing wasn’t it.
