Sherman, set the Wayback Machine…

For a change of pace, I look back at some of the technological breakthroughs that have changed the world and made EVs possible. Of course this isn’t comprehensive. Many people, smart, smart people, have shaped the world and our lives because of their curiosity and ingenuity. Let’s pay homage to a few of them.

Taxation Without Representation: Part 2

How do we tax EVs? In this episode, I talk about what the House Ways and Means committee discussed and some apparent political hypocrisy (if you can imagine that). Also, I let you know what the Commonwealth of Kentucky proposed and then wrap it up with my own opinion of taxes in general.

Taxation Without Representation: Part 1

The previous episode talking about EVs in the South got me to thinking about the whole EV taxing thing. Theres a lot of debate and we are fooling ourselves to think there will not be a federal EV user fee ( read: tax) and many states already have such a fee to, supposedly, offset lost gasoline tax revenue caused by EV adoption. This leads to my question, “what is the best way to tax EVs?”

EVs In The South

I read an article on EEnews.net yesterday talking about EVs in the south. When EV production in America picks up, there’s a good chance they will be built in the southeastern part of the US (including Kentucky). This article point out that there are obstacles to adoption in this region that need to be addressed.

I take a look at the article and give my first thoughts in this episode, but as I am writing this, the thoughts just won’t subside. I’m sure I will have more to say later, but for now, enjoy.
