Fuel taxes should be seen not as a fair way to pay for road construction and maintenance, but as a charge on drivers for the pollution their vehicles produce (theconversation.com)

Charging per mile makes more sense for a road tax for maintenance, and charging more for heavier vehicles. Do that for all vehicles (EV and combustion) and then charge a fuel tax for the emissions fee. More fuel used means more emissions.
