Comment on Vancouver proposes 10k-dollar annual fee for gas stations without EV chargingparent

Comments

This seems misguided to me.

Agreed, and for more reasons than those you mention. This would increase costs of gas on poorer people (who can't afford a shiny new EV) to subsidize more convenient charging for wealthier people (who aren't even buying gas). It's effectively an additional tax on gasoline that gas station owners will pass on to all their customers who do buy gas.
