I think Gasstingy may be right-on.
Doesn't seem fair to deny someone their cool ride though, just because the beer-o-crats can't figure out the best way to tax them.
While nobody is yet paying EVers for the health benefits - there ARE many places that allow EVs to use carpool lanes with a single driver, don't tax them going into congested cities the way gas cars are, etc, etc.
I read about the Fisker Karma, that part of the plug-in hybrid specs on it are designed to meet certain "EV-only" requirements for several congested European cities.
