PS> I was born and raised in a communist country, so let me tell you first hand, communism doesn't work. If you think the government is corrupt now, it gets 100 times worse when the government owns everything (in the name of everything belonging to the people). As my father used to say, you know the system is a complete failure if it cannot even reliably provide toilet paper to its citizens - you had to have the right connections and pay the right bribes to get even toilet paper. There was a perpetual shortage as the factories were government owned and there was no opportunity to make money by innovation, optimization, etc - no matter the output of the factory, the workers got paid the same, so no incentive whatsoever to work. A lot of people just used newspapers if they didn't have the right connections. Funny story btw, after my family escaped and when I was learning other languages (including English which was my 4th language), I realized that while growing up, the word "buy" or "purchase" was almost never used. Everyone used the word "arrange" instead. You didn't go buy meat, you arranged for meat. You didn't buy toilet paper, you arranged for toilet paper. And yes, there were stores, but most of them had little but empty shelves, and for places like gas stations, you needed special government coupons to be able to buy gas (for people who had cars, which most didn't, and even if you did, the coupons allowed you to drive to work and back, if you wanted more, you had to arrange for extra coupons through the right connections).
As I said earlier, $150 seems fair, as a way to help recoup the revenue lost for gasoline tax. So that will not get me to move to an ICE. Moving all cars to per-mile charge and removing gasoline taxes would be even more fair, but complicated to implement. $0.15 a mile for just EV's on other hand makes EV's more expensive to drive than a gas guzzler, so when making a decision of what to drive, a 1000hp car comes out cheaper to drive than a Tesla.
