This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

    I can understand having taxes to pay for roads. What I want though, is to have my yearly 200$ dollar road tax fee from my state pro-rated for the amount of time that the gas tax is suspended. There is no fucking reason why EV drivers should be supplying all the public tax dollars for roads while brodozers and pavement princesses pay nothing to rip it up.

      Passengers vehicles, including ‘brodozers’ virtually dont wear roads unless they were built like shit. Its the 40 ton semis that destroy roads.

        Passenger vehicles do however make up the majority of traffic, requiring lights, calming measures and other mitigation.
