Uh, because the US has a fascist leader that wants to return the US to the coal powered 1950’s?
Yeah but coal is so cheap that means electricity will be cheaper to power EVs... right guys right?
The newest executive order actually came using coal to generate electricity. We all need to switch to coal-burning cars by 2028.
I’ll be surprised if EV are even legal in the US in three years.
I pay extra on licensing to have an electric car. Fucking wild.
It’s because you don’t pay gas taxes (which pays for road maintenance).
The problem is the EV fees are ridiculously high, which makes them a penalty.
We should switch to mileage reading + car weight = car tax paid at yearly inspection for all vehicles (including trucks and buses).
Or don't tax EV's as an incentive for a healthier city. Just spitballing here.
That's certainly a problem, but electric cars are hitting peak sales, so it's not cut-and-dry. The Post Office won't electrify anymore but other businesses still can.
Well, peak only because the subsidies are ending. Check again in 12 months.
I'm sure that will impact it, yeah.
