As the owner of an electric vehicle, I do not personally mind paying an additional fee for road maintenance, but I think it is only fair for a fee to be charged to the drivers of gas-powered cars for their contribution to air pollution, climate change, asthma attacks and emergency room visits.
Alternatively, perhaps electric vehicle households should earn a tax credit, since our cars were purchased with cleaner air in mind.
