That is the first article I have ever read that has any sense of a common sense view of the matter.

For some reason there is a large majority of knuckle heads on this forum and such places as Prius chat that strongly support very high fixed fees for EVs and PHEVs

Lots of other folks want flat taxes per mile regardless of the vehicle.

I can only think
1. They don't and won't ever own an EV
2. Want flat taxes so they can drive their 7000lb truck to work more painlessly.

Otherwise I can't make any sense of the burning desire to tax EVs at a much higher rate for road tax.
