Save the planet - buy an electric car

Save the planet.

Kill a commie...


...for mommy.

Coal powered cars don't generate gas tax revenue. Those taxes pay for road and highway maintenance. One way or another, the state is going to have to replace those tax revenues, or give up on maintaining infrastructure.

Electric car cant do that.. [emoji16]

No, but the electric car will outperform the gas rig. If you want it to make that noise, install an audio system.

I cant argue with you there. Electric cars, like the Tesla roadster will chew up most high end supercars.

By my math, an electric car owner would have to drive 58,090 annually to break even in taxes in comparison to a gasoline powered car getting 30 mpg.

Annual tax cost for electric car owner = $1000
For gas powered car (at 30 mpg) = $148 plus 1,936.33 gallons taxed at 44¢ per gallon = $999.99.

Ridiculous, this electric vehicle tax is way out of line.

 

[Crepitus]

Yup, buy an electric car to save the planet and save on fossil fuel. Oh wait, it may cost you a few extra bucks to buy the vehicle, and a few more bucks to support the State.

Illinois might start charging $1,000 per year to own an electric vehicle: 'It's outrageous'

The electric cars still use the roads and don't pay the gas tax that maintains them.

Edit: it does seem.kinda high though.

I've been thinking about putting together an electric dragster.

Sounds more like a tax on the rich. The problem is, middle class should be driving these. And putting a huge increase like that defeats the purpose. How about raising the cost to operate a gas guzzler instead. Or tax more on those things that pollute the air and water.

The Electric car is the future but not if only the rich can afford them.

We all saw this coming, someone has to pay for the roads

What about the tax breaks the electric car owner gets that is subsidized by poor people who take the bus?

I'm against them (electric car tax breaks) but I do not mind the subsidy the bus riders get in the form of public funding of mass transit.

Still need towing power for my boat, work trailer, other assorted toys. None of which are electric. Large V-8 for me for the long term.

Guessing the folks that bought electric cars sure didn't see it coming.

I wouldn't drive one ... but I believe children should.

You should drive one, a Tesla, so you don't sound like an ignorant fool.

Many states are considering, and some have passed a mileage tax that EVERYONE pays. Of course, they won't repeal their gasoline tax, so many get double taxed. Nice huh?

I already have a car .. don't need one that works on AA batteries.

Not sure about your state, but here in California those gas taxes seem to vanish because they sure the hell don't do maintenance on the roads.

The problem is not only the price in this context. The problem are still the batteries. To produce this batteries costs a lot of energy. The equivalent is 73-98 g CO2 per 100 km when we calculate 150,000 km for the lifetime of a car in Germany. And the batteries are not recyclable. That's about 50% - 2/3 of the emissions of a Diesel or gasoline engine. And here in Germany we produce electric power also with a lot of additional CO2 emissions (not so Norway for example which produces electric energy totally with water - that's why electric cars make in Norway a big sense). Perhaps the best worldwide under all climate zones could be a system for hydrogen drive. We produce for example in summer much more solar power than in winter. I heard we are not able to use all the solar-power which we produce in summer. Why not to produce hydrogen in summer? And in winter we have not enough solar power when electric cars need also a lot of additional energy for heating. So why not hydrogen drive?

Does the looney left ever consider how the electricity that powers these over priced turds is made?
It's like how they have their cute little recycle containers but are oblivious to the fact that most of it ends up in the landfill anyway

Around here, it's made with Natural Gas, Hydroelectric, Solar and Wind. There are, I believe, one coal fired plant left and it's on the chopping block. And WE have the coal but are smart enough not to burn it for electricity. Right now, 20% of all electric power come from Hydro, Solar and Wind. And it gets more and more each year. And are you aware that Hydro, Solar and Wind cost less than either the Coal or Natural Gas plants to operate. The electricity locally here is Hydroelectric. We haven't had a gas or coal fired plant for about 40 years. I can't help it that where you are from, people are dumber than a Box of Rock. Just one rock in that box. A Box of rocks would be smarter.

What greases the gears on those facilities?

It can come from many sources including synthetic. In fact, Synthetic is much better and it can be made from plants.

That are good ideas too. I heard some Germans made a good research in this direction without plants. They produce in the moment in Norway with electric energy synthetic fuel - synthetic gasoline and synthetic diesel as far as I heard. Looks pretty good and the costs seem not to be
very high. They need CO2 for the production. So it's without CO2 emissions in the end, when the engine sets free CO2.

Well it sure wasn't the elbow grease of lazy ass liberals...

Idiots think that the Democrats are for the environment, but typical of mind numbed robots they listen but never learn.
Tesla's Electric Cars Aren't as Green as You Might Think

The lithium in the batteries, for example, is super light and conductive—that’s how you get a lot of energy without adding a lot of weight. Other, rare metals are sprinkled throughout the car, mostly in the magnets that are in everything from the headlights to the on-board electronics.

But those rare metals come from somewhere—often, from environmentally destructive mines. It’s not just Tesla, of course. All electric vehicles rely on parts with similar environmental issues. Even solar panels depend on rare metals that have to be dug out of the earth and processed in less-than-green ways

it is all about the feel good movement of Socialism but every fucking place Socialism is just look at the air there.
China..

Cuba.....It is always the same with Socialism....

China is turning their cities into clean are. The steps they are taking are.

1. replace all the gasoline and diesel powered taxis with electrics

2. Replace all the Buses with electric power.

3. Replace the Light Trucks with electrics

4. Slowly (with a cutoff for 2030) replace all the cars with electrics.

The Cities that have done this in china still use coal to make electricity. But the removal of the gasoline and diesel from their vehicles has turn the air from deadly to livable. Many industries can operate on electricity instead of fossil fuels.

How is your box of rock doing.

just like the good little Socialist you are, you actually believe that shit? Of course, that is what brain washing does to morons. I salute you Seig Heil..

Not "Seig Heil" - "Sieg Heil". The rest I did not read here. By the way: Why are all US-Americans idiots?
