Maybe a new road tax will be applied to electric car owners. The cars are heavy and cause extra road wear.

"EVs often weigh 30 per cent more than comparable gas-powered vehicles because of their batteries."

It is happening in Canada: "Alberta will be charging EV owners $200 a year [starting in 2025, saying EVs tend to be heavier and therefore] harder on roads."

If there is a weight tax, should it also apply to monster trucks and Humvees? I can hear the rage.
