Mary Landers @currentlymary.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Electricity is taxed. Labor for oil change is not taxed. No emissions testing outside ATL. Reg is cheap for ICE. Besides, this argument is about the frequent suspension of the gas tax while the EV road tax has never been suspended. If EVs pay a fair share (they do and more) is a different argument. 100

Mary Landers @currentlymary.bsky.social · 30/09/2026EV owners in Ga are charged a $238 annual road tax. It’s supposed to make up for the gas tax we’re not paying, but in many cases, mine included, works out to be far higher than what I’d pay to drive the same distance in a gas-powered vehicle. It’s never been suspended. In fact, it keeps increasing. 111
