Plug in or gas up, it doesn’t matter. The more you drive the more you pay.

    farmers and others also may drive quite a lot in vehicles on their own properties without ever touching a road. If it’s purely for roads and not, say, including a carbon tax or something, that seems rather unfair.

      Existing gas taxes also affect them in this way then. They pay for the gas tax used and they’re not driving on public roads, so that seems to be a wash.

        We actually have off-road diesel for this. Alberta also used to have “purple gas” but it was halted in 1999 due to rampant abuse. We could do something like that, but it hasn’t worked historically.
