Saskatchewan doubling electric vehicle fee, increasing park administrative charges
(theflatlander.ca)
Moe really tries his best to take this province back to the stone age.
Some math, to make a bit of sense of this:
- A $300 charge is what would be collected on 2000 L of fuel ($0.15/L)
- A reasonable gas vehicle would get about 8L/100km
- That $300 charge would be equivalent to that gas vehicle driving 25,000 km in a year.
Anecdotally, I've driven my EV about that in two years.
"But EVs are so much heavier than ICE vehicles!" My EV is about 2000 kg. My similar size hatchback is 1650 kg.
