It’s good to see the gov giving a tax incentive to buy electric cars. They could completely cover this tax cut if they would just agree to a tax increase on gas guzzlers for non-commercial use. People who drive 8 mpg behemoths drive up demand for gasoline and cause more damage to the environment. This damage needs to be addressed with a tax. A MPG/lb ratio would be a good measuring stick, and that way they could really hit the exotic cars hard. If someone is paying $250,000 for a car, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t pay an extra $25,000 or so to offset the damage that their lifestyle causes.
