[quote=Anonymous]Trucks cause damage to roads and we all are subsidizing the trucking industry by building roads they use. 100 cars of whatever weight don’t cause the damage of one truck. Unless you are going to start charging ICE vehicles for the pollution they emit it’s dumb to start charging passenger EVs for using roads (and yes some EVs are charged from fossil fuels but electricity generation at a plant is 100x cleaner than just burning fuel in your car). This change is a sad confluence of R’s hating EVs and Dems looking for any money possible to fund public services but it’s terrible public policy. We should fund road building as a public good or else charge trucks for the damage they do but shifting the cost to low income Americans (who spend a greater share of income on the gas tax) and EV owners (who are cleaning up the air) is the worst solution.
