Surcharge on the purchase of gasoline-powered vehicles

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Rather than thinking in terms of EV subsidies, we should be imposing a surcharge on the purchase of gasoline-powered vehicles to pay for the environmental damage they will do over their lifespan. The proceeds could be used to improve charging infrastructure, or to continue to subsidize low-income EV purchasers, as the state's new program does.

Such a surcharge could eliminate the price difference between EVs and gas-powered cars at no cost to taxpayers.

We should have a Climate Cult Tax.
The Crazy Climate Cult needs to start paying for the damages that they are doing to the economy.
EVs do not pollute less.
They just displace pollution.
The Crazy Climate Cult does not understand the scientific Rules of Thermo Dynamics.

A surcharge isn't a cost?
We need a surcharge on liberal economic illiterates.

Don't worry, since one will never be made here we will be getting sub-20K EVs from the Chi-Coms before you know it.

How about a general intelligence test before being allowed to own or drive a motor vehicle? It could cover the basic science of propulsion technology including the harmful effects of ICE exhaust components.

Sounds good!
Liberals love public transportation.
