Another problem is that fuel taxes are a reasonably equitable means of paying for the roads, and EVs don't have that -- the closest would be vehicle miles * weight or some such.

Fuel taxes don't seem to take into account the quartic scaling of damage by vehicle weight on pavement.

Well, if they did then EVs would pay more, since they are much heavier., because of, you know, the batteries.

		At least in the US, EVs are not heavier than the average driver's vehicle, though they are heavier than other vehicles in their class. And practically all consumer vehicles are nothing compared to semi trucks.
