Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favourite lunch spot near Emory University, must be hers. But she could not open the door. Nor could she open the door of the identical Leaf behind it. Cautiously, she tried the third Leaf in line and happily drove away. More than 14,000 electric vehicles are now registered in Georgia; California is the only state with more. But the juicy state incentives for buying them are coming under attack.
Residents can claim an income-tax credit for 20% of the cost of leasing or purchasing an electric vehicle, up to $ 5,000. Combined with a possible federal tax incentive worth $ 7,500,savvy Georgians are driving all the way to the bank in nearly-free electric cars. Nissan sells more of its Leaf models in Atlanta than in any other city, according to Don Francis from Georgia, which promotes the use of cars like these.
Such trends motivated Chuck Martin, a representative in Georgia’s House, to sponsor a bill to end state incentives for electric vehicles. He argues that the income-tax credit costs too much—about $ 13. 6m in 2013—and that only urban types benefit from these sorts of cars. Mr Martin’s bill was voted down in committee in February, but seems to be still breathing. Another House bill, mostly to finance transport projects, would reduce the credits; it is now before the Senate.
Fans of electric vehicles say Georgia now leads the country in clean transport. Local power companies have helped by offering off-peak prices of 1. 3 cents per kilowatt hour for charging the cars at night. And the sales tax levied on this power stays in the state, whereas cash spent on petrol largely goes elsewhere, says Jeff Cohen, founder of the Atlanta Electric Vehicle Development Coalition.
Cutting the credits altogether might also harm Georgia in other ways. A study by Keybridge Public Policy Economics, a consultancy, says the state could lose $ 252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas-guzzlers instead. That is because drivers will spend $ 714m on petrol to get around (in contrast with the $ 261m they would have paid in electricity bills) , and will no longer fritter away their savings from the federal electric-vehicle tax credit in Georgia’s shops. But the state’s incentives may be safe in the legislature after all; the president of the Senate drives an electric car himself.
Supporters of electric vehicles believe that these cars are______.
选项
A、convenient to charge and duty-free
B、powerful and good to environment
C、environmental-friendly and money-saving
D、inexpensive and faster than traditional cars
答案
C
解析
观点题。根据题干supporters of electric vehicles定位到第四段首句fans of electric vehicles:其中supporters“支持者”=fans“粉丝”。首句say Georgia now leads the country in clean transport说明这些支持者的观点,其中clean transport指的就是electric vehicles,这些支持者认为电动汽车是“干净的交通工具”,即认为电动汽车是“环保的”。第二句指出:当地电力公司也积极响应,并提供1.3美分每度的低电价供居民晚上充电。该句说明电动汽车“省钱”。故答案为[C]environmental-friendly and money-saving“环保省钱”。选项[A]convenient to charge and duty-free“充电方便且免税”;其中duty-free错误,原文没有说电动汽车免税。[B]powerful and good to environment“动力强大且有利于环境”;powerful一词纯粹是无中生有。[D]inexpensive and faster than traditional cars“便宜且速度超过传统汽车”:该项也属于无中生有。综上,本题答案为[C]。
