Anyone buying an Electric Vehicle to save money is living in a Fools Paridise! As soon as Electric becomes the norm the Taxes on Electricity will be hiked so that those Owners can pay their full share of Road Maintenance and all the Other Social programs that are deemed affected by Vehicles using Our Streets and Roads!
To think otherwise is just plain stupidity !
I will offer pure speculation........
A way of taxing road use for electric vehicles will be figured out - we are in the infancy of this idea. I would suggest a tax on vehicle registration based on miles driven per year. That should do it. There could be other ways.
I think by now everyone knows we will eventually run out of fossil fuel - it is not a renewable resource - alternatives must be found before we do run out. The experts say even with massive new finds and new technology they can have some idea of how to predict when we will run out at current use levels. Smart money says developing new alternative resources NOW will prepare us for a future without fossil fuels or with very limited fossil fuel. To prolong how long fossil fuel will last says smart money will find new ways to make sure we do not run out. Electricity is but one possible solution. Smart money will be working on other ideas.
The topic is fuel prices - lets stay on topic.
