Only in America is all I will say.
All true. However, some of these taxes are specifically targeting EVs out of some perverted form of political stupidity and hatred for the environment.Given the social benefits of driving EVs, hopefully these taxes will be waived for a while to help motivate the transition, but at tome point, all cars will have to pay their share of the road infrastructure costs.
Wow! I’ve never even heard of someone that hates the environment, but you know some in government?However, some of these taxes are specifically targeting EVs out of some perverted form of political stupidity and hatred for the environment.
Lots of people happily pollute because they can make money in the process. I see it time and time again in government and individuals. Our government has opened up more and more nature preserves to drilling. Individuals purposefully roll coal in their lifted trucks and then park in front of superchargers. What else is it other than hatred of the environment?Wow! I’ve never even heard of someone that hates the environment, but you know some in government?
btw - if someone is spending $90k on a personal vehicle to ‘save the planet’ they are are doing it wrong...

HEY!!!Only in America is all I will say.
Why advocate such trifling half-measures as income caps and increasing rebates for the poor? Surely it would be even "smarter" to proceed directly to pure communism. We wouldn't need to worry then about anyone having an income that's too high....California quite smartly put income caps on ...
Honestly, the 7500 fed tax credit should have a price cap of 50k or so, or better yet it should be a tax rebate that goes up the lower the income.
Kids, if you are ever confused about why intelligent conversations are so difficult to have, read this post and understand that unfortunately more and more adults seem to be thinking like this...they hold a pure and righteous position on said subject and if you dare to disagree you are nothing better than whale snot.If you do the math, the fees are more expensive then the amount paid in gas tax, a lot more. These things are of course unfair and tactics from the big oil company lobbyists and republicans (politicians) to force the decline and retard the EV (Alternate Fuel) sales and technology advancements. Look what happen to sales in Georgia when the did this, sales declined 80%; they know what they're doing. The climate and impact we humans are having on the encroaching crash of our ecosystem is of little concern to them. Their positions will of course change when it hits home for them which is encroaching quickly. Sad they can't understand these things in foresight, it is closer than they can imagine.
Not a single citizen would agree to this. Aren't our elected officials suppose to be doing what we want?, what is right by us and the general population. Where is the existing infrastructure money going? Managing the inefficiencies of the system would go "a lot" further but of course that wouldn't give them all the latitude to lavishly line their pockets.
Too much to comment on this and similar subjects. We need an organized middle class with a voice loud enough to effect a change and send a message to the big company lobbyists and politicians that they can't have rule over what is right.
Love or hate Elon Musk, he took the EV out of the Green Masochist demographic, and into the wealthy tech junkie demographic.Wow! I’ve never even heard of someone that hates the environment, but you know some in government?

Just vote for the Green New Deal! If you've read it and the FAQs (which AOC deleted from her congressional web page) you know what a modern communist manifesto reads like.Why advocate such trifling half-measures as income caps and increasing rebates for the poor?

It's common on EV sites and in main stream media (an oxymoron IMO). That's where I see the pious imaginary enemies thing the most often.Kids, if you are ever confused about why intelligent conversations are so difficult to have, read this post and understand that unfortunately more and more adults seem to be thinking like this...they hold a pure and righteous position on said subject and if you dare to disagree you are nothing better than whale snot.
Yes, that's why they fully support California's cap-and-trade system. It's a license to pollute. When California played with the idea of ending cap-and-trade, who cried the loudest? The polluters.Lots of people happily pollute because they can make money in the process.
Someone may have failed to inform you that a Texas oil man and Republican president signed the alternative fuel vehicle tax credit into law. I think his name was George something.These things are of course unfair and tactics from the big oil company lobbyists and republicans (politicians) to force the decline and retard the EV (Alternate Fuel) sales and technology advancements..
When I think of all the cow farts that went into making your luxury car seats, I could cry.....At least I could get real Dead Cow seats instead of plastic, errr... Vegan Leather.

Oh well, I think I'll order steak for dinner anyway.
Seriously, I'll be having steak tonight. My EV will offset the carbon footprint.
And if you believe that last line about carbon offset, I may actually start crying.
Don't be fooled. If that cow ever escaped, it would eat you alive in a heartbeat. Kill or be killed.Wow there's a lot of fake news here. It's one thing to be angry, but another to have the facts wrong. It's a fact that beef is horrible for the environment; whether you choose to eat it is up to you. Etc.
