When the world is moving in that direction, here we are taxing electric cars. Without a low tax regime, who dares to invest in electric motors, battery research and development, driverless cars and so on. Most of the car majors are shifting to electric motors and fast charging technology. This is a chance to give stimulus to an emerging field and so the government will not loose anything by slapping a negligible (say 8%) tax on electric cars.
