Don't under-estimate their resolve and innovation to collect more money..... they can easily slap a surcharge or electricity tax on usage of charging points..... remember what happened to CNG vehicles?

Now there may need to have coordination and planning on electric cars that go to scrap. So currently those electric cars that go to scrap just go to normal scrap yard and scrap right? Perhaps not so in future? But then there will be another cost consideration, that is cost involved to scrap if say there is need additional processes to scrap electric cars. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
