Agreed, and that isn't what I said, anyway.
If one was in the mood to split hairs on the subject, it would be
accurate to point out that EV fuel isn't delivered in bulk by
tractor-trailer rigs before being distributed. This alone
Sorry, but EVs *DO* cause damage to road surfaces and bridges, since
EVs are relatively heavy for their size, so they typically are several
hundreds of pounds heavier that the comparable sized ICE vehicle,
unless the EV maker has *also* paid a lot of attention to the weight.
The great benefits of E

Oh yeah, a stroke of pure genius, that.
Here in Oregon, EV's are nailed with double registration fees.
Additionally there is a "road fuel tax replacement" fee that
penalizes vehicles based on fuel economy, but not in the way that
you'd expect. Cars that get higher fuel mileage pay MORE in fees
While batteries are increasing their power density, I’m not convinced that they
will lighten. Instead, the choice will be made to increase range.

As an investor in Aptera (which is making lightweight aerodynamic EV's)
I have no problem taxing heavy vehicles, regardless of their mode of
propulsion.
Heavy vehicles cause more wear on the road, are less efficient than
light vehicles, and make the roads less safe for pedestrians,

Yes, it will apply to EVs. On the other hand, battery densities are
increasing so this should be relatively short lived. Plus, the
collective effect across states will be to encourage that acceleration.
On the other hand, I know how you feel, it will temporarily discourage
EV sales. But compar
