Bad example is contagious...
So, first they give incentives

Next, everyone falls for it
Next, they remove incentives, figure that they can't tax EVs because they don't use gas, and create EV specific taxes that will outweigh said incentives?
Hmmm.... what exactly happened to hybrid incentives? Tax cuts, HOV lane use, 150 000 miles warranty? Where is all now?

That’s why NJ is so dam expensive to live in taxes are very high along with the cost of living. Other states can’t do that they cannot afford that.

New Jersey is a notoriously expensive state to live in. It's home to two of America's wealthiest counties, Hunterdon County and Somerset County, and they're not the only New Jersey locales with high home prices. According to NeighborhoodScout, the median home value in New Jersey is $360,084.May 29, 2019

Wow, that's a pretty big deal. How are "tax incentives"accounted for, does anyone know? Would a $5,000 incentive be $5,000 deducted from your tax bill (saving you $5K), or $5,000 deducted from your gross income prior to reckoning the tax (saving you the tax on $5K)?

Central Planning. Without these geniuses, electrics would be nowhere. All based on a myth and data manipulation, fueled by directed "studies" with guaranteed outcomes. What could possibly go wrong?

Would’ve preferred no tax rebate, but a large gas tax increase instead.

So regular people have to subsidize rich people buying expensive new cars.

True, but it's offset by a great traffic. Lots and lots of places where you drive 0.7 mile per 45 minutes of driving


Even more places where, at 2am, on a Tuesday, you get stuck for 30-40 minutes (not because of an accident, just good old traffic).


Just don't dare to go do any shopping during weekend (starts on Thursday, ends Tuesday ).


Lived in NJ for half a decade and moved out. Thanks but no thanks.


While I despise EVs generally for their inherent inability to handle classic winter, that's not an issue in NewJersey given the tropical winters they get.
