ZERO EMISSION

 Mr Joe Britton ( Executive Director – ZETA )

 

Mr David Ganske ( Communications and PR – ZETA )

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

 

I read about ZETA yesterday through a Linkedin post by Rohan Patel ( Tesla )

 

Then I visited your website where the first  Key Issue  listed is :

 

---------------------------------

 

Consumer Incentives &
Early Retirements

Point-of-sale consumer incentives drive adoption, provide cost reductions and achieve real results in pushing transportation electrification. In addition, providing a larger credit for legacy vehicle retirements further rewards consumers and will speed the transition and meet the urgency of the moment.

----------------------------------

Congratulations for this initiative . I wish you all luck in achieving your 100 % EV target by 2030

While entirely agreeing with you on the  “ need to drive adoption “  of  “ Less polluting “ vehicles, I have conceptualized a technology framework to accelerate such “ adoption “ , by taxing vehicles ( automatically / dynamically / throughout lifetime ) , based on their HARM QUOTIENT ( a practical example of PIGOVIAN tax system )

Vehicles causing less HARM pay less tax and those causing more harm, pay higher tax

In such a scenario , without any other motivation ,

Ø  public at large will turn to public transport

Ø  vehicle owners will turn to EV purchases

I urge you to forward my following blog to your member-firms and invite their comments re the feasibility of my suggestion

With regards,
