...or just ignorant of the amount of "fuel taxes" that you pay at the pump when you purchase gasoline and/or diesel?
EV owners (like myself) are "double-dipping"--in my case "triple-dipping"--from the trough of gov't subsidies. All EV purchasers are getting some kind of subsidy. With the exception of a handful of States, EV owners contribute nothing toward infrastructure (road taxes, aka fuel taxes), and (in my case) the additional subsidies associated with my solar installation that charges my EVs.
The fossil fuel industry gets more than their fair share of "breaks", but nothing like the blatant "hand-outs" offered to EV adopters.
BTW--thank you!
