The important thing is that those who believe that electric cars are viable be able to finance the enterprise. The sooner the taxpayer is no longer forced to subsidize them, the better.
- evgen 14y agoWhen do I get to opt out of subsidizing ICE cars and the infrastructure needed to keep them on the road?
- pstuart 14y agoIsn't much of the subsidizing of infrastructure (roads) via fuel taxes? How should EVs be taxed?
- stretchwithme 14y agoGood point. If fuel taxes pay for roads, how will electric car owners pay for their share of the wear and tear?
- stretchwithme 14y agoHopefully soon. Its wrong to subsidy the automobile, whether it is electric or ICE powered. Yes, we do pay gas taxes, put I doubt they are enough. And even if they were, it makes no sense to charge the same regardless of when one travels. Most of the road building is to accommodate rush hour traffic. It makes sense to more at that time, just as hotels charge more when demand is high. The way roads are currently paid for winds up wasting enormous amounts of time at rush hour. Charging a price that reduces the traffic to the level that the roads can efficiently handle will save everybody a lot of time. Of course, that issue has nothing to do with how cars are powered.
