Is the Phantom an EV? If not then what is the comparison? But for a RR EV (or any EV) perhaps part of the sales tax should be diverted to the road fund. At least then there would be some additional value for the additional tax. |
It is irrelevant that the RR isn't an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles cost more than a comparable gas vehicle because of the low production numbers and added technical complexity. That has no bearing on gas tax at all. You buy expensive toys, you pay expensive prices for them. Should the owner of a TV Premier Home be given a tax break because the house costs more than a Patio Villa? That is the argument you are making because electric cars costs more.
