Electric cars probably contribute more to road wear and tear because they are generally heavier. I actually support flat rate vehicle weight/mileage use taxes.

I actually support flat rate vehicle weight/mileage use taxes. That woudo encourage lighter cars and less driving. The technology exists and it could be done. You could also add time of use charging (or discounts for off peak driving).
- dmm 11y ago(Vehicle caused*) Road damage cause by anything other than heavy trucks is trival, less than 1%.
