This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

This fair share concept is crazy to me. The vast majority of road wear comes from Semi Trucks, to why doesn't anyone want them to pay their fair share?

If the funding comes from a federal fuel tax, then the higher per gallon tax on diesel (and the much higher fuel consumption that cargo trucks have) mean they actually do.
