With the arrival of the first electric cars on the market in the U.S. the Americans were expecting something more from the government in Washington. Maybe ecoincentivi to purchase these additional resources, or possibly for those who burn oil and produce CO2. That, however, which was voted by the Senate yesterday was incredible: a tax of $ 100 per year for those who owns a zero emissions vehicle as compensation for losses for loss of use of gasoline and the resulting federal revenue shortfalls.
According to local media, this additional approval by the Senate - proposed by Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen of the State of Washington - was introduced with the intention to charge electric cars is also a kind of road tax to maintain roads, what that petrol vehicles are charged through fuel taxes.
"We recognize that these vehicles are an important part of our future, but now we need to share all the expenses for this future," said the Democratic senator. The law will now pass the House for final approval. Then President Obama will touch the sign and its entry into force. An estimate of the Department of Transportation of the State of Washington has been estimated at approximately $ 200 the amount that any motorist pays annually in federal funds through the purchase of gasoline.
In the United States, taxation on fuel is negligible compared to Italy and Europe, as it is about 10 cents a liter, equal to about 7 euro cents.
