Electric Vehicle Registrations Surge Across the U.S.

If liberals keep running this country into the ground that will absolutely happen. They create crisis so they can develop new revenue streams. Look at how much money has been spent on the global warming hoax? Easily into the hundreds of trillions over the decades. Meanwhile, those disgustingly hypocritical liberals are the biggest threat to the planet right now. And they care so much about the planet, they flew the Ukraine aid bill to South Korea so Xiden could sign it. Not very green. I guess they don’t have email or the internet in South Korea. $40 billion for a corrupt government while we can’t put formula on our shelves and the clown won’t lower gas prices.

@Master Baiter--Ohio charges about $200 per year for EVs and $100 for hybrids with other states like Kentucky proposing similar legislation. Reduction in fuel tax revenue is hurting many states road funds. I don't mind paying something for upkeep of the roads. The roads where I live are for the most part good but the growth in population in NKY makes it hard to keep up with widening of roads and building of new roads especially with Amazon having a major distribution hub in NKY and many people moving from Ohio to Kentucky to get more home for the money and lower taxes. Boone County where I live is the fastest growing county in Kentucky.

My state imposes a registration surcharge for EVs that is quite a bit more than the gas tax savings I realize from driving an EV. (Fortunately, the savings in raw fuel cost before tax easily cover the difference.) But you conservatives can't make up your mind about what the government is doing. Are they pricing owners out of ICEVs to force a shift to EVs, or are they bilking owners of EVs to make sure they won't lose revenue? It can be one or the other but not both, and it seems like you all pivot to whichever allows you to criticize particular governments in the moment.

@dal20402 “ But you conservatives can’t make up your mind about what the government is doing. Are they pricing owners out of ICEVs to force a shift to EVs, or are they bilking owners of EVs to make sure they won’t lose revenue?” Just going to point out that nobody has ever asserted that the government is “bilking” owners of EVs. No one. Conservatives have always advocated for people that use the road should be charged. People that bike in public roads should be charged. EVs should be charged (which they are-somewhat). But the government is also very much able to, through legislation, make it untenable for ICE ownership. We are seeing that now with the government not doing anything about gas prices. Libs want this inflation, they want high prices, and they want expensive gas. Because all they care about is ensuring their pockets get full. Liberals and democrats have never been for the people. They hate people, especially the lower classes.

@dal20402--EB troll just came out from under the bridge. The extra tax has more to do with lost revenue from the gas tax. Don't like additional taxes myself but I fully understand it and as a user of the public roads I understand I have to pay for their upkeep. Those who revert to name calling especially when they do not know you are immature and belong on the school yard instead of a serious discussion. Cannot take anyone serious when they resort to name calling.

@Jeff S "Those who revert to name calling especially when they do not know you are immature and belong on the school yard instead of a serious discussion. Cannot take anyone serious when they resort to name calling." Also Jeff S: "EB troll just came out from under the bridge." Massive hypocrisy in the same posty. That's pretty good, even for you. Not to mention the fact that you can't refute anything I said. Excellent job dude.

@EBFlex "Conservatives have always advocated for people that use the road should be charged. " I don't know about that. I'd say every politician has had their head in a moist, dark place for decades on the gas tax issue. I can only speak for my state. California's gas tax is a joke, not so much for the money that's taken, but from the lack of clarity on how the money is re-deployed. The state's roads are mostly C-D quality, despite the state collecting about $7.5 billion annually from gas taxes. No numbers available that I could find noting what's spent on road/bridge/dam repairs in the state. Maybe I should file a FOIA request to find out where the money went.

@jkross22 Here's a link to what each state has taken in from gas tax revenue: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/motor-fuel-tax-revenue

The fact is they can't. They are incapable of building a vehicle that even comes close to matching the qualities of an ICE vehicle.

@EBFlex How do you explain EV Registrations are going up. Would that be a liberal conspiracy?
