Electrification of the automobile brings with it some significant tax implications.

For one thing since costs of early models will be high, there is a government $7500 tax credit that buyers of the Volt will be eligible for.

However, some auto executives think even that isn’t enough. Proposed is a gas tax.

The idea is nothing new but the problem is at gas prices below $4 per gallon, electric cars are a hard sell to the mass population.

“Unless gas is $3.50 or $4 a gallon, consumers are not going to want to buy those cars,” said former GM board member Jerry York.
