Question For EV Present and Future Owners

You tax the household of EV owners more. Your car is already registered at a particular address.
So all of your electric usage is taxed at a higher rate because you own an EV? Yeah, don't think that's going to sit to well with those that don't go out much.

Nothing is without it's starting kinks. We will work out the nuance in time.

Remember that when you trash that chemical battery every 8 years. You will contribute to a whole new toxic chemistry mountain in the making at the landfill.

That will be great for the environmen..
Those chemicals are pretty valuable. In a few years all car batteries will be recyclable, some are already.

It's started as a flat fee, that has risen as more and more people switch to ev.
My guess is that it will eventually lead to people complaining about the ever high cost of electricity and things will go back to square one.

That would be a lump sum payment....not really a fan of that idea, prefer pay as you go but with an EV kind of hard to do.
Pay-as-you-go is better, but if you had to base it on one odo reading a year, you could still have it paid out in monthly payments if you wanted, like natural gas equal billing or property tax rolled into a mortgage payment.

... but like equal billing for natural gas, when your usage is way off the estimate, there can be a bit of a shock when they apply an adjustment.

"Tesla aims to recycle batteries at all its Gigafactory locations, according to its 2021 Impact report.

“We intend to tailor recycling solutions to each location and thereby re-introduce valuable materials back into our manufacturing process,” noted Tesla in its 2021 Impact report. “Our goal is to develop a safe recycling process with high recovery rates, low costs and low environmental impact. From an economic perspective, we expect to recognize significant savings over the long term as the costs associated with large-scale battery material recovery and recycling will be far lower than purchasing additional raw materials for cell manufacturing.”

Better read this then...remember now science trumps speculation.

Are you paying a road tax, or are you just feeling superior with you EV and could care less?
I used to pay an annual wheel tax as well as fuel taxes, but that was some few years ago when I was a carbon polluter.
