We are not discouraging these vehicles, but just making sure we don't loose revenue because of them." We all know that something like this will happen as these electric vehicles become more widespread ... its only a matter of time (and budget shortfalls) |

Being from over the border I have often questioned the logic of WA powers that be with some of their taxes. But this one is big finger up the ass of people who have just been told they will receive incentives to choose the greener path. Absolutely +1 on the issue of grabbing back lost revenues... perfect example of! |

Exactly... this shows that the corporate side of the government does not miss a trick, already planning ahead for our 'greener future'. Incentivizing now is just a way of saying "but we're gunna grab ya'll by the balls later!" |
