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] What do we learn from Don Francis’s words?
选项
A、Georgia’s promotion of cars like Nissan is effective.
B、Georgia’s incentives for buying electric vehicles are challenged.
C、Clean transport is dominant in Georgia at present.
D、The income-tax credit in Atlanta is lower than that in other cities.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本题考查对唐·弗朗西斯的观点的理解。第二段末句提到,根据来自清洁城市——推广使用日产聆风这类车的乔治亚州的唐·弗朗西斯,日产聆风在亚特兰大比在其他任何城市销售的量要多。从该句可以得知,乔治亚州推广使用这种车是非常有效的,故答案为A)。B)“乔治亚州对购买电动汽车的激励政策受到挑战”、C)“清洁交通现在在乔治亚州占主要地位”和D)“亚特兰大的所碍税减免比其他城市都要低”都不是唐·弗朗西斯的观点,故排除。
