Eric you really are funny. You simply can't read. You need to try comprehension. <<

Neither does it replace the income tax, profit tax and sales tax paid by service stations and employees. Nor the taxes on repairs and maintenance etc.

There is virtually no maintenance!

You don't understand the massive advantage of a pure electric car.

>>

To laboriously explain it for you since you didn't manage to understand, regular cars have high maintenance costs. Governments change tax on economic activity, such as repairs and maintenance. Governments like that tax. Because electric cars won't need maintenance, that repairs and maintenance industry goes the way of farrier work. So governments won't be getting that tax revenue.

You obviously understand that good electric cars don't need maintenance. But your check list stuck-brain lacking of thinking means you have trouble understanding what people write.

You imagine I have some position then think you are making a case against it.

It is funny Eric.

Try again and read slower. Perhaps put your finger on the words and move your lips, trying to see what is written. It's interesting that you can't understand LOTs of things. It wasn't just a slip of the mind.

That was my point. It's odd [but understandable knowing how you "think"] that you repeated my point about no maintenance of electric cars, thinking that you were saying something different from what I had just written in the post to which you replied. <<There is virtually no maintenance! You don't understand the massive advantage of a pure electric car.>> I have understood the advantages for 30 years since I became a fan club member. That doesn't mean they are good no matter what else is going on, such as $10 a barrel oil with engine makes making vast improvements as they did, holding the line against electric. Yes, that's right Eric. Internal combustion engines have lots of moving parts, fuels and lubricants, all needed maintenance. Governments collect tax on all those efforts. With electric cars, that tax revenue will not exist. Governments will want to make it up somehow. They will do it on mileage tax. As you mentioned in a later post, they are starting to think along those lines. But the "We want free lunch" motorists will fight against paying road tolls. Mqurice
