    Batteries are heavy, while weight is a major contributor to road damage (and therefore societal cost) I believe it is more than offset by the reduction in emissions.

    The difference in weight limit helps insure electric sedans aren’t ruled out due to battery weight alone.

      Wait, did I phrase things incorrectly maybe? You seem to be just restating what I wrote as if it’s a different point

        It’s a response to your specific point about future imbalance and why this specific law won’t cause that.

        As for your point in taxation of fuel I imagine it will change to additional taxation of energy.
