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] Why does Martin support ending Georgia’s incentives for buying electric cars?
选项
A、Because the state can’t benefit from them.
B、Because they go against financing transport projects.
C、Because the income-tax credit is quite expensive.
D、Because they can’t save money from federal tax credit in Georgia.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题考查马丁支持终结乔治亚州对电动汽车的激励政策的原因。第三段首句提到,这种趋势促使乔治亚州众议院的议员查克·马丁支持一项终结该州对电动汽车的奖励的法案。接着对原因进行了解释:他认为所得税抵免费用高昂,2013年达1,360万美元,而且只有城市型汽车才能从这类车辆中受益,故C)为答案。A)“因为该州不能从中获益”,原文未提及,故排除;B)“因为它们不利于为交通项目提供资金”和D)“因为在乔治亚州他们不能从联邦税收减免中省钱”分别是针对第三段中的finance transport projects和最后一段中的their savings from the federal electric-vehicle taxcredit in Georgia’s shops设置的干扰项,与马丁支持终结该州对电动汽车的激励政策的原因无关,故排除。
