I wonder what’s gonna happen within the next ten or 15 years or so when most vehicles are electric? What excuse will they come up with to make you pay the Man recurringly for the privilege of having spent your money to buy your car?
Of course, you can’t drive ten feet around here without paying a toll road so maybe I just answered my own ?.  |
Well............electric vehicles don't buy gas or diesel. So they don't pay the tax on fuel. So the idea of paying tax on the number of miles driven in the year. So when you do your taxes. You will be paying a road use tax now. Read that the tax could be anywhere from 0.01 to 0.30 a mile driven.
What happens to the car when the battery pack dies and needs replaced. The battery pack is almost half the price of the car.
What will the used car market look like for the electric cars? How will Blue Book rate them?
What happens with the battery packs when they go dead?
Takes electric to charge the batteries. That means more power plants and up graded grid system. You know that's not going to happen. Our grid is shakily to begin with, and our generation is barely making it now.
Driving cross country. How many days will that take now? You have to stop and charge the battery up. That ain't happening in an hour. It's not like filling the tank up and getting back on the road.
