They will buy used gas cars or used EVs. You can already get a decent EV for about $6,000 - there are bound to be more used EVs available in 2030.
There is also a lot of confusion on this bill:
- It doesn't go into effect in 2030. It goes into effect when 75% of cars in Washington are paying a mileage tax instead of gas tax. Oregon is furthest along with a mileage tax and our plan is to start requiring new vehicles sold in 2027 to pay per mile.
- It doesn't ban ICE cars in 2030. It bans the sale of NEW ICE cars in 2030.
- It only applies to vehicle 10,000 lbs GVW and under. You could still buy a gas Ford F250.
- It applies to 4 AND 3 wheel vehicles. No trike loophole for this bill.
