BLUF: I am a Grammar nerd -- the kid the jocks beat up in school so I would help them with their English assignments. I am not a mathematician by any measure. I need help fighting a state senate bill calling for an EV tax. My argument is that if EVs are to be taxed, it should be at a rate consistent with fuel tax rates, but taking into regard the equivalent MPG.
In Arkansas, the current fuel tax is .215 per gallon. If my 85D gets about 110 MPG equivalent, and I, say, 'fuel up' every night for an hour or two, and it costs me .07 cents per kilowatt hour, what would be an equivalent amount of 'gasoline?' What would be the equivalent tax burden?
I'm writing my state senator to vote against the bill in favor of a more favorable/fair assessment. Is there any one out there who can figure this out?
