Electric Cars: One Thing Nobody is Talking About. Who Will Pay For the Roads?

I’m sure pudlicker’s trust fund can pay for it.

Boom

we simply pay road tax.

Yes, but if you're paying the same amount to drive an e car as a gas car, and an additional tax for ROADS is added... you pay more.

but greta will like you and the government will be able to control you better

You'll be paying by the mile. That has already started with EV's in some states.
The real one question nobody is talking about is how are they going to find enough lithium to manufacture 10's of millions of batteries every year for new cars and replacements. The entire surface of the earth will have to be strip mined. Not to mention, nobody is willing to pay $25K for a used car then have to spend another $20K on a replacement battery. If you can buy a new car for $45K what happens to the old battery and car? Is it now disposable because nobody wants it? Are you now stuck with a $25K loss since you can't afford to buy a new battery for a used car?
Nobody thinks things through anymore in this day. They're all just Ghey For Green!

Unless if you factor in a much lower population.

Vehicle Miles Traveled Tax. Already in the works

there will be no global, ALL CARS ELECTRIC by (insert year here) future.

Not as long as electricity is not free energy.

besides, there is not enough metal resources for batteries,
considering Space/Mil tech is priority in the human future.
civilian transportation is secondary.

roads in the future will be WIDE, at least 200meters wide.
and there will be many types of transportation, fast, levitating, etc.
but less private vehicles.

so sheep, stop dreaming of electric cars future.

Shit, everything is reverting to the middle-Age serf system. We'll be lucky to ride horses through the King's forest. If nuclear war pops off, you'll be driving like the Flintstones and you'll love it!

no. taxes on everything will kill humanity. it kills economy, prosperity of individuals, which kills teams, which kills companies, which kills countries...

no tax should be ever be over 10%.
no banks should ever be private.
no individual should ever make more than 1 billion,
after that all profits to common good (NOT FOUNDATIONS! NOT CHARITIES!)
that is, to benefit the whole peoples.

advanced civs in the galaxy don't have taxes, they are fully long past that kind of stranglehold oppressions of the ant level societies.

everyone owns everything together planetarily, nobody has scarcity. basic needs are met. nobody owns excess.
leaders are merit only. and merits are not political, not nepotistic.
there is no politics, no religions in control, no dogmas straying people, no deception in sciences...

as long as Earth nations let masons and other cults, politicians and clergy of various religions lead them, there will be no future.

In my day we had to walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways, and we loved it!

In my day we did not have food, we had to suck lint balls from the carpet for nutrition, and we loved it!

lol in many states it costs 1500$ to register plates yearly for an electric car and they did that over 8 years ago

With a global taxation of 95% you will pay for roads while not allowed to use them.

We pay plenty now and the roads are crap. Nothing will change.
Except since the grid won’t be able to charge the cars, so less use, so the roads will be used by bikes and skateboarders.
Tax those suckers.

$50 for 3 charges

Trust me you will pay

One of bidens bills has a new per mile mandatory taxation scheme in it.

We tried to fuckin warn you.
