Texas' 'Electroline' tax
1) The Texas State Gasoline Tax is $0.20 / gallon at public gas stations.
2) Texas is collecting $1.56/ gallon-e at public charging stations.
3A) - Texas is collecting $200 /year per BEV Annual vehicle registration at County Tax Offices.
3B) - which is equivalent to the taxes levied on 1,000-gallons of Gasoline.
3C) - which, at 12,000-miles/year, equates to an average 12-mpg.
3D) - my BEV is returning and average 125.8-mpg.
4) I don't know if I can drive 125,800-miles a year to justify the taxation, but I suppose I could try.
5) And perhaps, the Texas Legislature may want to brace for the coming class-action lawsuit from all the Texas BEV owners, once they figure out why it's been so painful to sit.
