Whew! Old thread!

I don't know enough about battery technology to know if going to electric cars/trucks is a good move or not.

What I do know is a large percentage of the price of a gallon of gas is taxes that are supposed to help the states maintain roads and highways.
I have an acquaintance with a Tesla. He's had it for at least a couple of years, but not buying gas, he's not paid any road taxes for that same period of time. Where will the equitable line be in this case?

It'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out........
