Nearly half the states have added a road tax on the EV and Hybrids already. $75 up to $150 per year. Other states are close to doing it also.

They're still getting a bargain Hunt. I drive below average miles per year, maybe 10k, but I'm paying 25cents a gallon for the privilege of using the road. That's about $235 per year.

Our tax is .42. You are getting a bargain back there.

It's harder than heck to find out where all the money goes when you buy a gallon of gas. There are federal taxes, excise taxes, fees, and who knows what else. Then there all of those at the state level - Road taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, fees, surcharges, and 'just because' taxes. Then there are other taxes that you can't see: Whoever hauled the gas paid all of these taxes on the fuel he burned, that rolls into your costs. So does the cost of paying the driver, which includes income tax. I have no idea whether taxes are collected when ownership of the petroleum changes hands from the producer to the refiner to the distributor and to the gas stations. I'm pretty sure that the refineries pay a lot into the tax coffers, that's all rolled into what you pay at the pump.
A lot of these taxes are justifiable and I'm not complaining - too loudly - but it would be nice to know what the gas itself would cost if there were no taxes factored in.
Maybe I should convert my car to run on natural gas, and eat a lot of beans!

Add 31 million registered cars in California x that many 50/60 amp chargers when they can’t produce enough power now. Good luck on those mandates…..

Seems to me that a lot of our politicians never got past third grade arithmetic.

Right? Same way in Oregon. Invited 100,000 i******s into central oregon, built houses for them and "oops" the infrastructure couldn't handle it. The power was going off on a regular basis there 4 years ago so they built solar farms and sent all the power from them to California. Pretty bright bunch of leaders there.😂😂🤪

they just can't face reality that no nucular, no coal, no oil, no natural gas, and no hydro equals no power or at least very little power
