Yes, I'm interested what those taxes on ICEs are that don't apply on EVs.




That's not really what you claimed though

> nobody taxed horse owners extra just to clear the way for cars.

This implies an extra tax on ICE to make them switch to EV.


How about this:

https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/fiscal-instruments-fa...

"Examples from a number of countries show that this uptake can be enhanced by well-designed incentives and taxes."

"most European countries have based their vehicle taxation schemes on type-approval CO2 emission values and increased the number of incentives to purchase new electric vehicles."

To me it seems that ICE owners are taxed more compared to EV owners. I don't understand what exactly it is you argue against.
