One political party denies CO2 is a pollutant.

On the contrary, if they actually want EVs (spoiler: they don't), they should waive as many fees on them as possible.
IMO, the fair way to recover fuel tax revenue is a pollution surcharge to the license renewal fee, based on the vehicle's EPA MPG or MPGe rating. The more energy the vehicle uses, the more the owner pays. This is similar to the yearly vehicle taxes levied in many other countries, based on ICEV engine displacement. It will (mildly) encourage vehicle buyers to consider efficiency. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
