Oh yeah, a stroke of pure genius, that.
Here in Oregon, EV's are nailed with double registration fees.
Additionally there is a "road fuel tax replacement" fee that
penalizes vehicles based on fuel economy, but not in the way that
you'd expect. Cars that get higher fuel mileage pay MORE in fees,
while those which consume more pay less. I guess the thinking is
that the poor truck and SUV owners are already paying more than their
share by way of gas pump taxes, so have pity on them. Needless to
say, EV's (and hybrids) pay the highest fees, in spite of causing the
least damage to road surfaces, bridges, etc.
The whole world seems to have lost it's mind in the last few years,
so why not make everything insane, including torpedoing possible
solutions to pollution, climate effects, oil import dependence and common sense?
