Unbelievable. The level of intelligence you are displaying.

I gave you 3 links - you are too lazy to either read them, or are not smart enough to understand them - I repeat them here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law
https://www.profitgreenly.com/p/road-damage-fees-and-profit
https://outbacktravelaustralia.com.au/blog/trucks-are-smashing-up-the-roads/
they all clearly say that the damage to the roads is exponential TO THE FOURTH POWER of the weight on each axle. You might have to revise your school notes to understand the implications of that. If you are able. In general though, a 20 ton truck with 5 axles (4 tons per axle) would do 640 times more damage than a 2 ton car per km travelled.

I was not comparing EVs. I was simply stating that damage to the road should be paid appropriately. I was comparing my small 1.2 ton ICE with a 2.4 ton SUV (regardless of motor). The SUV does 16 time more damage.

I admit I was not aware of how the rego is calculated - anyway I just did this comparison:
The rego component for a VW Polo is $428, but for a Hyundai Palisade it is $622. (Both ICEs). If we wanted to pay for the roads fairly then the Palisade owner should be paying 16 times more.

Now there is some tax on the fuel: the rego calculator says that the average annual fuel cost for the Palisade is $2136, but $1603 for the Polo. Assuming one third of the fuel cost is tax, then:
Palisade pays 622 + 712 = 1334 total rego + fuel tax
Polo: 428 + 534 = 962
So Palisade owner is 962 x 16 -1334 = $14,058 short of paying equivalent for road maintenance as the Polo owner
(Even if the fuel used is underestimated, it would not change the figures much.)

Every now and then a petrol tanker has an accident and bursts into flames. Your should ask your friend DVEous to find some - he is very good at finding all sorts of incidents with EVs and Li batteries. Anyway here are some:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tank_truck_explosions

Switching to EVs removes these incidents altogether.
(Then of course there are the oil spills - but that is a different topic altogether. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_spill)

But you totally forgot what this was all about. My original post was about you:
"complaining about loosing [sic] fuel excise revenue to maintain the roads being damaged by the heavier freeloader BEVs." @danwell.finno

And I responded with
"I don't have a problem with taxes to maintain roads. What I have a problem with is where the fee is not proportionate to the damage."

So stick to the point. Improve your maths. Learn the difference between lose and loose (many others here need to do that too). Look up the links that are offered to you. But I don't have any suggestion on what you have to do to understand them.
