@anarchotaoist if this is for Australia, the calculations are a bit out of date. Fuel excise is usually 44.2c per L (making he example for a $1/L price). However currently it is reduced for 6 months to 22.1c per L, and prices are around $2/L.
At $2/L your $100 goes ~$33 in income tax (depending on your bracket), $6.03 in GST, and $7.40 in fuel excise... total $46.43 in tax.
@sgryphon Electric vehicles cost you - and are not inexpensive. Solar panel cost you - and you need to be in a position to buy them. ie. A home owner and have the disposable income.
Take away - fuel tax hurts low income earners more.
@sgryphon Thanks for the clarification/correction and attention to detail. Nonetheless, it is still a huge percentage!
@anarchotaoist ... or it costs you nothing if you are using solar power to charge your electric vehicle.
