How about the panicked state of Washington with their new electric car tax. Since full electrics (such as the Leaf) don't use gasoline, there's no gas tax taken in. And because electric cars ''cause just as much wear and tear'' on the roads as everything else, they now added a $100 tax onto the license tab fees.
Gee whiz, I know there's at least one Leaf for every 5 cars here, after all, we're completely overrun with electrics. (Give me a break)
As for their weak 'wear and tear' argument, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's 80,000 lb. trucks that do most of the wear and tear on the roads rather than little 2,700 lb. electric cars?!?
