Weight-based per-mile fees would seem to be the fairest way to go, but implementing that would be difficult and no doubt expensive, or else involve privacy issues if real-time monitoring were the norm.
The gas tax remains one of the main funding sources for road infrastructure, which has led to cries that electric-car drivers aren't paying their fare share of road maintenance costs. Minnesota's solution? Consider electricity a fuel.
A new bill circulating through the Minnesota legislature calls for an "electric fuel" tax for EVs. It even calls utilities and charging networks "electric fuel dealers," and lays out an amount of 5.1 cents per kwh—several dollars per each charge of longer-range EVs. If adopted, Minnesota would tax electricity used to charge electric cars as fuel, reports the St. Cloud Times. . . .
