Governments want their sweet, sweet tax - I hope you didn't imagine the future where one is charging their EV car tax free from offgrid PV installation or some

  To counteract these needless cynical takes - someone has to maintain roads and roads are funded by taxes on gas and municipalities, which means vehicles that pay no taxes from gas of from the local municipalities are freeloading. Moreover roads wear out to the fourth power of the vehicle's mass, which means if anything that light vehicles subsidize those heavier ones regardless of emissions.

    Infrastructure spending is really not that big of an expense regardless of who's doing it. Many/most roads are economically worthwhile (or are a low enough cost to be a justifiable luxury) on their own albeit some (mostly in rural areas) at lower standards of maintenance.

      I don’t know where you got that idea from. Road maintenance is actually quite a significant expense for municipalities.

      This not true - in the US most municipalities are financially underwater with regards to infrastructure maintenance costs, especially with road infrastructure.
