EV's should be subject to either a massive one time surcharge tax at the time of purchase, or and ongoing significant additional tax at the time of annual registration. The reason being they currently don't pay the significant fuel excise (plus GST on that tax) that 'normal' motorists pay every time they fill up. This is the main source of funds for road maintenance, so EV's are effectively getting a free ride at the expense of other road users. A supertax on EV's would create a level and fairer playing field.

@Brian-om2hh Just why would I want an EV which to me is TOTALLY useless. I wouldn't have one even if it was free, because it is totally incapable of meeting my requirements in regarding to towing capacity and range. And please don't insult my intelligence and try and tell me they are viable towing vehicles with long ranges and near instant recharging.
