imho, the ‘loss’ of fuel tax is made up by having no tailpipe emissions fucking up the air.
until ev makes up more than half of the vehicles on the road and ice is legislatively deprecated with a sales cut-off set in stone, i think ev owners should get the benefit of no tax on its ‘power source’ as one of the incentives to switch to and keep using them over petrol-powered vehicles.
I’m curious how often you complain about the state of the roads you drive on. Girl taxes have already not kept up with the costs of maintaining the roads. Now there’s a significant percentage not even paying them.
In theory I agree with you, but roads are heckin expensive. Gas taxes mostly/entirely go to road maintenance depending on where you are in the world.
We should absolutely charge a pollution tax on fuel as well, but given our current social structure and infrastructure, it would probably make our economy implode.

Aww! Losing fuel taxes? Bummer. Maybe they should ask deep-red Alabama how they do without taxing fuel.

Nah, EVs put wear and tear on the road too
