What Europe has done is to tax the externalities in for these vehicles. They are heavier, so they wear the roads more, so there are higher taxes to cover that.

What Europe has done is to tax the externalities in for these vehicles.
They are heavier, so they wear the roads more, so there are higher taxes to cover that.
They are less efficient per km, which uses more grid, so there are higher taxes/charges to cover expanding the grid.
This seems to work and they same thing could work here
- _zoltan_ 4y agoYou talk about Europe like it's a single entity. It's not. Road tax is a country local matter, not regulated at the EU level - for example France has no road tax. Similar to your other example: it's made up and is not the reality.
