My understanding is that the vehicle standard mileage rate for business use, which should be announced by the IRS in the next few months for 2019, is uniform across both electric and gasoline powered vehicles.
Then, I saw this jarring claim by a reporter in a regional newspaper: that electric buses (which can cost $200K more than a diesel bus), have fuel costs that are zilch?
OMG, I almost asked in the Spelling & Grammar thread, whether someone re-defined the meaning of "zilch" while I was asleep!
Do people think it is appropriate that there is a single rate for both types of vehicles? (By "appropriate", I mean, would neutral taxation of both types of vehicles continue to support the status quo?) Am I correct that there are subsidized charging stations in some public places, where one can re-fuel electric vehicles for free? Does anyone already factor in home-based charging costs for business use of personal vehicles for any of their tax clients?
