New Buckeye Institute Research Finds Electric Car Subsidies in Arizona Benefit Wealthier Citizens at the Expense of Lower-Income Families
The Economic Research Center at The Buckeye Institute, in partnership with the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, released new research that found, in an effort to encourage the purchase of electric cars, low- and middle-income Arizonans are subsidizing wealthier Arizonans who can afford new and more expensive electric cars. The report, It Ain’t Easy Being Green: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Electric Vehicles in Arizona, revealed that the subsidies lead to bad outcomes for many Arizonans.
