[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a US automakers and republicans tax. They hate EVs. The give away is charging plugin hybrid a 1/4 of the EV tax. Even the shitty hybrids available here can avoid the gas tax. The thing is the US car industry wants to make hybrids because the manufacturing process is basically building an ICE car with a battery attached. In the rest of the world(84% of the car market) hybrid sales are collapsing. No one wants a hybrid. In 3-5 years US automakers will be begging for government bailouts. I hope everyone remembers how they pushed through this tax and say no bailouts. [/quote] EVs can be easier in Europe, Japan etc because they don't have the big rural distances to cover. I'd love to get an EV but we do a lot of camping in remote places with no charging stations, plus have relatives on unpaved back roads where you absolutely need AWD in winter, and our current infrastructure makes gasoline still be a necessity to cover the distances.[/quote]
