What I don't agree with is the obvious forced transfer to EVs. There should be no gas guzzler tax, nor rebates for EVs.
I don't know why you are for the forced transfer.

Every vehicle should pay its share of road maintenance costs. That will never happen because a semi would have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000 per gallon in fuel taxes because they wear and tear a road as much as 9,000 passenger cars.

I never said I was. I just said it's a more efficient means of transportation and that it's easier to make fuel for yourself in the event of a longer-term SHTF scenario.

The federal credit is not a rebate since it's not refundable. All they do is reduce the amount of your money the federal government steals. Meaning, you will never get a check for buying an EV.
As they move the population to EVs, there will be talks of mileage tax. Meaning they need to see how you drive and you will have to report your mileage. This is not good.

It's true that a semi causes a lot of damage, but cars take up more space. That's one thing to consider.

Ok, fine, I will agree with you on this. It is an option. One could even use wood gas to power a generator as well. But I don't want to see the killing of gas engines for their goals. They will use EVs now for mass control, this is what you are not seeing on a macro level.

I get it, but someone who is wealthy enough can reduce their taxes by going EV, then the same rules should be applied to a gasser. What I want to see is a neutrality. Ideally there would be no income tax, but that will never happen.
It's obvious they want society to be EV only, and their reasons are never for good.
There's nothing about EV that enables more control than gas. The control began long ago when GM started putting OnStar in its vehicles and allowing the FBI to enable it as a listening and tracking device at their leisure. None of this was in EVs.
