And how will those who don't fill up (EVs) pay taxes?

Or get a research or teaching assistantship.

Seems reasonable to me.

It's true, I've been aboard a couple of these old mine-sweepers, and many more old wood boats.

At least as owned by Cousteau... it was already the Ship of Jaqueseus before it ever left port under his sail.

It's not backbone. It's a man deciding that the rules that apply to everyone else shouldn't apply to him.

And I just bought a house 30 miles away from work because I couldn't afford one in town.

Over my dead body

Ship of Jacqueseus.

Thats not reality at this point.

That’s where dense housing instead of sprawl will help.

How are people supposed to get to work from rural areas? What about trucks delivering commerce? What about your Amazon packages? What about people with work trucks full of tools that can't take a bus?

>I think it’s unfair to say that the EV charge is unfair because it doesn’t align with your consumption.

That is not why I am saying is unfair. As the article indicates, even gas-powered vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient. So, if you combine that with the fact there are more EVs on the road, that means there is less tax dollars coming in to fund the roads. So, my point was if I owned an EV and was driving an equal amount of mileage, I would be paying far less in taxes. Which becomes a problem for our state as a whole if we want to continue funding our roads.

Not universally. Most EVs are sedans and most gas vehicles on the road are SUVs. They weigh about the same.

I’d rather pay at the pump higher taxes, fuck off with that Orwellian shit.

The idea of checking the odometer is ridiculous. If I hop over to OR, which I do daily, those miles would count.. likewise road-trips to Canada, ID, etc.. and no way I’m putting a gps tracker on my car..

EVs are heavy because of the battery weight and damage the roads more than Prius. Thus, they need to pay more.

Good. We need to disincentivize driving as much as possible.

I have actually. I am studying abroad in Austria next semester, so I was thinking about possibly getting my master's at that school or another European school. But I want to see what the Austrian University is like first.

Berkeley is a little better. And close to Silicon Valley
