    the subsidy thing is backwards.

    most ev shouldn’t get subsidies. especially not the heavy tanks that do more damage to the infrastructure.

    petrol-powered vehicles should be taxed more instead–a lot more. at purchase (or resale), at registration, every year at tag renewal, and at the pump. and be subject to lifetime emissions and safety inspections.

    charge double or triple in fees for ownership and push gas prices to ~ $2 per litre like it is in parts of europe, then most everybody but the least-endowed will be buying battery electric vehicles. small, efficient ones.
