Re: It seem to me
Which is why that tesla owner shouldn't have been clobbered with a massive tax bill. The amount of pollution generated by the tesla is directly proportional to the electricity used. If the electricity is making so much pollution, electricity usage should be taxed accordingly. Everyone using the electricity is making pollution. It is not the tesla owners fault the power plants currently are coal, which could change at any time. The tesla owner could have been completely off grid, solar and wind, not using anything from the coal power plants, but still being taxed for it.
Petrol and diesel cars on the other hand can't be taxed only on fuel consumption, as shown by the current scandals, fuel usage is not directly related to pollution.
