They should get those tax credits for driving the car - not just buying it - cause then they help lower the cost of gas for us all!

  They already get an effective tax break by not paying gas taxes.

    So, if I get you correctly, you're saying they get a tax break by not paying taxes on something they don't use? Why stop with them not paying gas taxes? Since they are American-built, they also don't pay import taxes. They aren't luxury yachts, so they don't need to pay a luxury yacht tax, either. Why, there's all sorts of taxes they don't pay. Claiming they get an effective tax break by not paying gas taxes is absurd.

      Gas taxes are used to build and maintain the roads that electric cars drive on. Electric car owners reap those benefits without paying the gas tax. That said, the CATO article was beyond biased for all the reasons already mentioned.
