Olivia Pedersen thought the Nissan Leaf parked outside her favorite 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, smart 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 Clean Cities—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 collected 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, says the state could lose $ 252m by 2030 if they disappear and people buy gas-guzzlers(耗油量大的汽车)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 waste 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. [br] Which of the following statements is true?
选项
A、The Georgian people share the similar tastes of electric vehicles.
B、Cutting all credits may cause damage to Georgia.
C、The Senate is expected to pass another bill shortly.
D、People spend 20-30 percent of their income on gas in Georgia.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题考查对全文内容的理解。最后一段首句提到,对信贷的完全削减有可能在其他方面伤害乔治亚州。B)是本句的同义转述,故为答案。A)“乔治亚州人对电动汽车的品味相似”是对原文第一段案例的错误推断,故排除;C)“参议院有望很快通过另一项议案”是对第三段最后一句的过度推断,故排除;原文第二段首句提到,居民用于租赁或购买电动汽车的费用可要求20%的收入税抵免,最高可达5,000美元,这与D)“乔治亚州人收入的20—30%花费在汽油上”矛盾,属于偷换概念,故排除.
