    That’s bs, gas taxes already don’t pay for road maintenance and too many localities seem to want to over-tax EVs

    Let me counter-propose

    • EVERY road vehicle be taxed by weight and mileage to cover road maintenance
    • IN ADDITION keep a smaller gas tax to help pay for the additions harm to society and the environment of burning fossil fuels, AND to discourage this kind of behavior

    This is fair to everyone - each covering their actual usage and damage caused, regardless of technology

    Of course then we can go off into the woods arguing that actual trucks cause essentially all road damage but we do need those
