Aim@esoterica @KiwiNikki it's kind of a fair distribution of costs though no? Would also make rail a more attractive option for freight, which has reduced carbon emissions per tonne.
KiwiNikki@aimatme @esoterica I have no problem with i, as I don’t have en EV- but I’d much rather that money was put into public transport! We have to get people out of cars where we can. Such as all the big cities. And get clean and efficient services between the cities.
@KiwiNikki @esoterica this would be tax neutral I'm guessing. Just putting RUC on everything and removing fuel duty - ensuring EV owners contribute to the infrastructure they're using. So while I'd love them to also spend more on PT, I don't think that's part of the discussion.
If the government was more progressive they could increase RUC to cover council roads too and reduce rates or even put that extra money into lower carbon based infrastructure like bike lanes and PT upgrades.
