Kansas Secretary of Transportation Julie Lorentz has ideas of how to recoup lost gas tax revenue as more electric vehicles fill Kansas roads. She envisions not only a per-mile charge to make it more fair for all vehicles, but in her ideal world, motorists could pay a different rate for busier roads at peak travel times. https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/environment/2022/01/27/electric-vehicles-grow-kansas-gas-tax-officials-eye-funding-solutions/9231265002/ #ElectricVehicles #RoadTax #Kansas

I drive a #truck, and I'm aware of her environmental footprint, so I drive her carefully.
I want to minimise her impact on the environment, on a good day, I can get 25mpg.
Why am I telling you this?
On the radio today, I heard a man complaining about #VED being applied to #EectricCars he said "Charging it is expensive, and now they're putting #RoadTax on it, so what's the point of owning one?"
Immediately, I thought, "It's quiet, and doesn't burn #FossilFuel "
Why did he buy one?
