All cars do pay, the taxes are part of the cost of fuel.
EVs should pay road taxes to help pay to maintain the roads they are using same as ICE vehicles, but they don't. And since they don't pay it in fuel taxes, they should pay a much higher utility rate when charging to help with road maintenance costs. Then it would be based fairly on how much charging they use, just as ICE vehicles pay more tax when they use more fuel.
How about EVs be taxed for the pollution they make to be produced. The massive cleanup of just the mining operations of all the toxic heavy metals to make their batteries would make ICE pollution look tame.
You still burning coal, BB or did you switch over to a backyard windmill to power you home heat ?

NY does not HAVE any coal-fired power plants, however, NY is part of a very large grid with other States and Canada - parts of that same grid having power plants that use coal,..... so your using coal-fired power even if you like to think you are not.

This electricity supplier BS is such a scam. I am in a rural area near the end of a power line. There is no three phase down here so there is one wire supplying everyone. I have a neighbor across the street and we share a transformer. I can be buying plain old electricity and he could be buying 100% renewable and i am to believe that the electrons coming down that single wire are designated as renewable and non renewable? If I were to sign up for a renewable energy plan at least turn my power off after sundown on days that there is insufficient wind to turn a windmill. Fortunately all the renewable rates available to me are 50% to 100% higher than the unspecified sources so I will never sign up and find out.Sunny Boy wrote: ↑Tue.

I pay taxes on electricity ... so I get hot with 2 taxes for my EV use?
A pollution tax ?
EV pay for generation they use? I don't know what that means but am guessing more taxes.
BigBarney loves taxes for some reason.
Maybe the gov;t should stop spending. They already spend more than they take in now.

it's not really spending if they're able to print it. Kinda like a perpetual motion machine.davidmcbeth3 wrote: ↑Sat. Apr. 01, 2023 1:43 am

Well, they can be. Its location location location specific for solar and wind. Wind can be the best.
But politicians want to put wind mills in places that get no wind and put solar panels in places that get little sun.
If your state has PV or wind programs, go see the paperwork. Then call folks who participated and learn their energy creation. I've done this, most are happy to talk about how good or poor their purchase was.
