    I don’t like that they are planning to have both a electric vehicle fee and a per miles charge fee later on. Like it should be one or the other, not both. Otherwise they just need to make the 30$ fee for all vehicles.

      Yeah adding a $30 fee specifically to electrics seems asinine, to the point that I’m hoping that is a misunderstanding on the part of the reporter. I don’t mind new fees, but new fees added to electrics that don’t get added to combustions seems regressive.

      As for the per-mile charge, I like that and think it should apply to all vehicles. Flat fees don’t sufficiently or accurately compensate for road use, but a mileage charge does. People who are on the road all day should be paying more than people who only drive to get groceries, even if it’s for their job, because they put equivalently more wear on the system.
