The big rigs pay a lot of road use taxes as well. Far more than cars.
But the point is that heavier vehicles cause more wear. Your average Tesla weighs twice as much as a Toyota Corolla.
With fossil fueled vehicles this is basically self correcting. The heavier the vehicle, the more fuel it uses, thus the more taxes it pays.
These electric vehicles weigh as much, or more, and pay little if any road use fees.
“But the point is that heavier vehicles cause more wear. Your average Tesla weighs twice as much as a Toyota Corolla.”
Yes but the tires are probably twice the size and inflated to similar pressures.
The roads are over-built for cars and even heavy cars cause very little damage.
