So people complain that cars aren't paying enough road tax and that won't be enough to pay for the roads. Ok, fair point. There also seems to be an inherent bias against any tech that could be seen as green. But lets just go with it for now.
Someone comes along with an idea that is based on distance traveled rather than emissions. This would tax people who use the road system more, and it wouldn't give a tax break to these evil electric Nissan leaf drivers....and people are complaining? Isn't this what you wanted? A revenue stream to pay for upkeep of the road network, and not subsidising green energy at the detriment of traditional ICE owners?
