Should we also add a new tax to all electric vehicles who use the roads without paying gas tax?

I could see an argument both ways but taxing electric vehicles would tend to negate the incentive to switch from polluting cars.

Would you rather those Uber drivers pollute our air or would it make sense to encourage switching to zero emission vehicles?

Everyone needs to pay for their usage. Road taxes fix roads using gas as a tax was an easy way to charge for usage.

Air pollution is a different issue and electric cars have rebates to encourage purchases.
