EVs are heavier than normal cars and you are using the road. So, it is fair to pay the road tax. Assuming the money collected for this directly goes to road maintenance.
I do not have problem with paying taxes that go for roads. Even though in my case I own PHEVs than BEVs. That would be last of my complains.
- nicoburns 5y agoThe effects of climate change are expected to be a lot more expensive than road maintenance, so I think the tax is still the wrong way around.
- sremani 5y agoI would have agreed if EVs had no Carbon footprint.
- brianwawok 5y agoHeavier part is not significant. The weight effect on road wear is like a 4th order effect. 1 semi-truck causes something like 100,000 the road wear of a single heavy EV. I am fine if we want to tax this route, but disel is now going to cost $300 a gallon for trucks.
