RE:RE:RE:EV Sales Collapse Globally as Subsidies Dry Up the current EV advantages relied on subsidies and free loading on infrastructure built and paid by the fossil fuel users. Eventually EV owners will have to make up tor the declining road tax and petro tax.
Same goes going off grid, somebody has to pay for upkeep of the existing public power utility. If a city goes green and install more renewables sources, somebody has to pay for those. I read some cities in US already upping property tax for homes with solar roof. Yes, some cities also give property tax exemptions too but i can't see how this could last long when homeowners hopping off the public utility grid, all employed by union workers.
What a rooftop solar tax means for consumers. In a word, ‘Ouch!’ (thenewdaily.com.au)
