__**Issue Category and Bill Title-**__

Energy and Environment

Cleaner Ways of Transportation

__**Bill Purpose-**__

If we increase the price of gas (reasonable increase) people will begin thinking about purchasing electric cars. As electric cars increase on the road there will be a decrease in the use of fossil fuels.

__**Eligibility-**__

This bill applies to people 16 or older that wish to save money on fuel and drive in a cleaner way. How the people save money is by paying only 2 1/2 cents per mile for driving on electricty instead of paying 14 cents a mile on gas.

__**Terms and Benefits-**__

The Government will add a 50 cent per gallon tax on gas to be used to generate the funding for the Charging Stations to be installed at current Gas Stations. Charging Stations could be used in parking lots, garages, and stations for electric vehicles. Charging stations will have the assistance of solar pannels to charge electric vehicles. Using electric vehicles helps cut down the use of fossil fuels and cuts down on air pollution.

In general charging stations would cost from $3,500 - $4,000 (Not including installation fees) The installation of charging stations would cost about $4,200 Electric cars range from $25,000 - $30,000 For 45 workers the cost would be $1,125,750 per year The cost is 2 1/2 cents a mile to drive on electricity (The cost to drive on gas is 14 cents a mile) Yearly cost for the government would be $3,952,752,750 Cost for gas stations that put in charging stations would be $123.333 (Per gas station)
