This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.
minus-squarebetanumerus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-27 days agoMy view here is that a $130 or so fee should be paid by every car owner, gas or electric. Then they can reduce gas tax by $130 overall if they care to (or keep it as a carbon tax).
