I know… and I also know that we currently depend on truck rigs for shipping in everything, so the taxes would ultimately focus on them MUCH MORE than even the assholes in their coal rollers. That would mean the ‘punishing’ factor of the taxation would be diluted for them, even if we used GCWR of a vehicle as the standard for taxing.
Sadly, this isn’t a “the market can handle it” thing either. Gas stations have underground tanks which have to be dug up and disposed of before the land can be used again, and it’s expensive. So gasoline infrastructure will remain for a while regardless of how many gas powered vehicles there are.
Yes, but that makes sense. Don’t you know that’s not allowed?! /s
