    Washington state has a $250 extra yearly registration on EV’s and it seems like it has not mattered. I think Washington is 2nd or 3rd in the country for EV’s. They did not have rebates that caused that. I think the extremely good charging infrastructure, very green grid, advanced grid technology because of using hydro power since 1900.
    They do have sales tax in Washington which is waved for EV’s under $45,000. Up until now that was a small percentage of EV’s.

      Yes and most people get 30mpg so purchase 400 gallons of gas a year. Which is $200. So the $250 EV license fee is more than their fare share. And for my Nissan Leaf that I drive 1000 miles a year it is way more than the Leafs fare share.

      So should the fossil fuel industry, that doesn't pay for the pollution and adverse climatic impacts. Basically the fossil fuel industry is being subsided directly by government incentives, but also by pollution and climate change that effects the entire planet and all living things. Assistance provided to fossil fuel producers and major users increased from $266 million in 2020-21 to $1.16 billion in 2021-22.

    Australia has improved its EV arrangements when salary packaging, but I agree more could be done. The tailpipe pollution from ICE vehicles probably costs soicety on average about $AUD15 000. It would be great to price that difference at purchase. Maybe add a fee at purchase for an ice vehicle depending on ots lifetime pollution and use that to subsidise new EVS.

But now Oil corporations know that people will simply switch to EVs in a huge way if they jack up gasoline prices like they used to. People that want to keep their gas cars have EV owners to thank for their low gas prices these days.

    Pollution's hidden cost on those hospitalised and those that simply suffer the effects of air pollution, is probably costing well over $10,000 per person over the course of their lifetime. So really this $9,000 is not exactly unjustifiable. It's very logical and rational to permanently replace pollution with clean air. The health cost savings along could be massive, let alone the climate and related health benefits in greenhouse gas reduction. People are also succumbing to health impacts related to climate extremes don't forget.

They might be nearly free and actually free when you factor in the gas and oil savings. And when you don't have a big car payment and not buying gas you have more money to spend and that's good for the economy.

Beyond that government should be prohibited from attempting manipulate the markets; right now the result is pretty much destroying Chinese EV makers who even with subsidies which they've depended on are going bankrupt. The Federal $7500 "incentive" is takes tax burden off a wealthier taxpayer and puts it on a lower wage earner that can't afford a new car. To achieve what? A non green vehicle that weights 25% more, wastes 15% of energy charging, uses 2x more tires and 10x more mining. Smart.
