The eventual goal across the country being one of having the EV owner's cost per mile for their use of electricity in the ballpark with the cost per mile to power a fossil fuel vehicle of approximately the same weight or some other criteria.
If electricity is cheaper than fossil fuels, why artificially make it more expensive?
Now absolutely taxes are going to have to be re-figured for EVs, probably based on mileage, since roads are about half-paid for with gasoline taxes.
But there is no reason to artificially inflate the cost of electricity. The whole point is to go to lower-cost solutions.
Renewable energy sourcing of our stick-house electricity can be provided - if we choose it - by our power company. BUT ... they want to charge MORE for it than getting it from their other regular sources for our home's electrictiy. Go figure!
EV owners should not get free or below-market cost electricty for their vehicles. If so, the rest of us are paying for it for them. That's not right.
