it is the rich who make the laws and the poor who pay taxes .... as of course, and in addition as they are more and more numerous, the base widens what is good for the durability of a tax.
and if we wanted to replace the thermal cars with electric cars, we would first have to know how to replace the taxes, it is the primordial question, otherwise how would all the parasites survive? Do you think about it?
when I see the number of subjects "neu-neu" at least or certain are concerned with finding alternative fuels without thinking about the essential, that is to say, taxation.
Do not forget which oil is an energy 6 times cheaper than electricity! a little economic thinking before doing technique, common sense!
Oil, or gas, is free; it is its extraction, its distillation and its transport which have a cost; as for its price, it is fixed mainly by the market, and by the parasitic taxes which accumulate throughout their human life ...
The same goes for electricity; the "raw material" is free; it is processing, transport and distribution that costs; plus obviously the taxes which also accumulate at all levels ...
Otherwise, the costs per kWh, electric or hydrocarbon, are very comparable "ex works", which share between 4 and 6 cts per kWh, taxes making the difference; With the difference that, as far as transport is concerned, 1 electric kWh gives about 0,8 kWh to the wheel, while 1 kWh oil gives rather 0,3 kWh to the wheel ...
So for the subject that concerns us here, electricity is much cheaper than oil; but nothing forbids to tax it so much, even more ...
Obviously, in thermal use, this reasoning no longer holds, or at least more completely ...
