You are asking me to pay for the health issues arising from people driving ICE cars, which science tells us is killing thousands of people and hospitalising even more every year. I understand the cost of keeping the oil flowing for petrol cars is even higher than the burden on the health system. Not asking you to pay for those costs either. That is the free ride ICE drivers are getting by externalising the cost on society in general. Also, I have absolutely no objection if both ICE and EV drivers are paying the same road usage charge based on km driven. It might ben even better to also include a vehicle weight component into the road charge. No problem at all. I am sure that while you love your wood fire, your immediate neighbours - especially those with asthmatic conditions in the family - are far less excited. I really do not give two hoots about what you invest in Scooter.

Mate I use 2 tons of fire wood in the winter, It heats my house, hot water and use it to cook, your plans no better when you add all the carbon used to create your green agenda. If you got something better how will you subsidise the changes you expect me to pay for.
