This bill proposal is a real mess.
- I cannot figure out why EVs seem to be mentioned, but Hydrogen, Hybrid, Plugable Hybrid,
or cars with features like Solar Panels, or providing Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities....
are not really described since they all more or less contribute to a greener environment?
- Why making distiction with shape and price of vehicules?
A sedan can be either a luxury car or a tiny compact car, may be weight or efficiency should be a better criteria than price.
What about hatchback, are they considered as sedan.
What about coupes or convertibles cars, which are basically sedans with two doors.
Why making a distinction between a van and a pickup truck which are very similar.
Because depending of your business you want a van to protect content or a pick up to carry cumberson loads.
Also a van carry more passengers, removing car polution, but get a lesser advantage than trucks.
And vans a typically for families where trucks are for businesses which can deduct expenses from taxes.
Why not making a differences then if the car is used for family or for business purpose.
And the price limitation for each category should apply only to additional options,
but should not be affected by the choice of battery size otherwise people living in northen states
will get a disaventage as they need the extra range while in southern states you don't need extra battery.
Same if you need an AWD when livung in snowy states compared to 2WD in sunny states.
So basically, why not make it very basic and simple like previously with a 200,000 car sold limitation or a 5 years limitation.
Price, shape, battery range, motor size..., should be only user choice depending on multiple criteria and needs.
The only difference for me would be if the vehicle is for personal transportation or for business,
because for business usage you can deduct expenses, while for personal usage
you already paid income taxes before you can spend the remaning of your income to buy a vehicule.
If a business can both deduct cost from taxes and also get tax return when buying a vehicule, kind of double dipping,
why then not having business buying cars for their employees as part of their salary like in other countries.
