Is that $50 based on mileage driven?

Any idea how that $50 would compare to the tax on the fuel you would have otherwise been using annually?

They get that fuel tax through a road use fee when you get your tags renewed. If you have a hybrid it is $250 a year, in Arkansas. If you have an EV then the road use fee is $500.

That is interesting, we haven't paid any extra on our little Prius C here in Missouri.

I bet you're the type who would have bitched about the government paying to build the interstate system.

California spent billion(s) of dollars to build a tiny railroad. Good luck.

This cost about 0.2% of that amount, so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

Probs voted Eisenhower and then called him a socialist for building roads.

Heard the new Elon Musk fail-mobile described as an Incel El Camino.

I giggled.

Charging a Tesla for one day takes same amount of energy as 13 homes.

EV is a scam.

From what I've seen most automakers are pulling back quite a bit on investing in them. For now, at least.
[Reply]

Wait till you see how much gas it would take to power 13 homes for a day.

This is nowhere near correct in my instance. If I fully charge my Tesla at my house I dont really even notice a big increase to my electric bill. I probably charge my Tesla about 1,200 miles a month at my house and it seems like it is only maybe 5% or 10% max of my homes electric bill.

I run a home energy monitor, and in the past 12 months our cars have used 2,661 KWh compared to our other usage of 5,023 KWh. So in our case, EV usage is about 50% of our house's usage.

I'd be really curious to know where in the world a 13x number came from. Obviously not reality, but it's a bit random.

Maybe Im overestimating the amount I charge at home since I do use Superchargers alot at Hyvee 13x sounds way high.
