Also EV battery packs consume some electricity when the vehicle is parked, especially in cold climates. With a "fuel tax" on evs you would be penalizing people who drive less.


Where ever the tax comes from it will almost ruin the point of owning an EV. Might as well make all roads toll roads. The whole system is corrupted beyond belief.
