minus-squaredan@upvote.aulinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 年前 Let’s say you get 50K miles out of a set of tires. Note that most EVs get nowhere near that. The faster acceleration, higher torque, and heavier weight chew through tires. So a flat tax on tires would results in EV owners paying more even though they don’t damage the road significantly more than petrol vehicles.
