Over charging for IC or the fuel is absurd! You don't make EV's more affordable by increasing the cost of gas. That isn't fixing an problem with the value of EVs. It is just making all other vehicles value as poor as EVs! Ultimately, all you've done is make transportation less affordable for everyone starting with the lower income group. Hell, why not just ban cars unless you can pay a $5000 per year registration? I probably shouldn't say that since there are some tax and spend politicians that would love to get their agendas funded by more money (keeping it non PARF by generic terms and not pointing to a particular group).
