RE:RE:RE:RE:EV Sales Collapse Globally as Subsidies Dry UpAfter the government entices enough people to adopt EV, I think they will charge based on your odometer. Easy to verify when you're at the shop, or upon registration renewal. They won't let those juicy dollars go untaxed forever.
As I have posted before, "someone" will also have the ability of decide for you whether or not your car gets charged anyway. Not a conspiracy, as last Fall in Colorada, Xcel energy company overrode customers T-stats during a hot period to save their precious inadequate electrical grid.(70 is comfortable for your family, sorry we decided 78 is adequate while our own office runs at 72).
GM introduced Onstar in 1997 and could unlock your doors for you etc...25 years later they have the technology to lock your car out for you and make sure you don't charge. It could be too hot for the grid, too cold for the grid, didn't pay your taxes, or whatever emergency has been deemed.
