Ugh. This is almost a good idea. I’ve been saying for years that there should not have been a tax benefit for ZEVs, it should have been a sliding benefit based on various efficiency measures, including both L/100km and Le/100km. That would encourage smaller cars in addition to electric ones.

“But why give the discount to smaller, cheaper cars? They’re already so cheap?”

Because it provides that much more incentive against the large, heavy, inefficient cars that are unsafe and waste gas/electricity. Those cars cost society the most via injury, pollution, etc. They should get no benefit from the taxpayer.

It’s still mind blowing, even if it is a coincidence.
