Electric car revolution will render carbon tax redundant
Re: �Climate treaty dead as a parrot,� by Lorrie Goldstein, �Carbon taxes will fuel Canadian populism,� by Anthony Furey and �Canucks want action on gas prices,� by Jim Warren, March 19.
Two-third of Canada�s power generation comes from renewable, mostly hydro, sources of energy. As such, most of its carbon emission come from gasoline-powered cars. But soon Elon Musk�s all-electric Tesla 3 will put carbon-spewing gasoline-powered cars out of circulation within a few years.
Elon Musk, founder of California-based Tesla Motor Corporation, has been producing his highly sought after luxury electric car Tesla 5. Now, he is about to mass produce his all-electric Tesla 3 by the end of this year. Tesla Motors Model 3 is meant to appeal to the masses at $35,000 before incentives and more than 350 kilometres per charge. By comparison, the average new gasoline-powered car in the U.S. sells for about $33,000. Tesla will mass produce 500,000 electric cars this year, followed by about 2 million next year.
And Tesla is not alone. Later this year, Chevrolet will roll out its $30,000 Bolt EV. It, too, boasts more than 350 kilometres of range, aimed at eliminating �range anxiety,� the fear that a vehicle will run out of juice. VW has pledged to make every model as a plug-in hybrid by 2025. Every plug-in is effectively an electric car carrying a �range extender,� just in case. Hyundai Motor Co. promises eight plug-in hybrid models, plus two all-electric models by 2020. Toyota�s overhaul of plug-in Prius, boasting twice the battery range, will arrive before this year is out.
With millions of cars not using gasoline most of the time, carbon emission will drop precipitously. We will not need carbon tax to keep fossil fuel use down. Electric car revolution will take care of it.
