Got money? You’re gonna need it!
Just when you thought the Peoples Democratic Republic of New Jersey was going to force us all to either buy an electric car (EV) or ride on top of the bus with the chickens, Gov. Phil Murphy has signed into law a $250-a-year road tax on all EVs (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4230000/posts).
What? Huh? Wasn’t Murphy, just a few weeks ago. cozying up to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, plotting against normal people driving normal cars?
As if the road tax weren’t bad enough, there’s also going to be a four years’ registration fee paid up front and (hold on to your hat!) a phasing out of the sales tax exemption for EV batteries.
I have so lost track of what it would cost to own and operate an EV…
What do those batteries cost? Up to $20,000, last I heard. As for the road tax, well, EVs weigh a lot more than normal people’s cars, putting extra stress on the roads–so maybe they should be taxed for it.
How about a “Serves You Right for Electing These Parasites” tax?
