Missed chance to charge pickup trucks more than smaller cars... You have made perfect sense to incentivize smaller cars.

- Considering it was a blocked by the governor during the first attempt, I'll take this for the win that it is.
  
  Also, given that NYC isn't as prone to the big truck phenomenon that plagues the rest of the country, that had the potential to backfire and hurt tradespeople more than rich folks with Teslas.

  You have a point. But lately where I live I'm seeing more often tradespeople and delivery in tiny electric vans. I think these vehicles could have been given a special discount at least in the beginning.
