Smart comments here. I agree the Govt will want it taxes. Some states are putting a tax on the EV registration/tag. I get it the are losing the $0.20-$0.40 per gallon tax. They want it from somewhere.

This is where I am happy folks hate on EV's. You stay in the gas car and let me get a few years ahead to save a few dollars and enjoy the EV HP and torque.
