Have e-car fans ever proposed a way for them to pay their share of road costs? I can’t believe EVERY e-car fan is an irresponsible parasite LOL!
Freeper owners certainly shouldn’t be.

Specifically has the idea of a separate meter for the charging station which would add “x” per kw-hr been discussed?

An extra meter in your garage is pretty expensive. I know that PG&E in California offers an electricity plan to EV owners where you have a separate meter for your EV, but most people do not use it because of the added expense. I think a better solution would be to read the odometer whenever you get your car inspected, calculate the miles driven since last inspection, and tax you accordingly. Cars that drive both on electricity and gasoline, like the Chevy Volt, have a way that you can read specifically how many electric miles have been driven.
