Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

Doesn’t the US have a road tax on vehicles?

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 15 hours ago

No. Just gasoline taxes that pay for roads and general taxes that pay for everything (including roads).

Federally? No. At the state level it varies a lot.
