That was the original idea, long since proven to be a lie. It does go into consolidated revenue and there is a significant shortfall on funding for roads.

You believe politicians?

You know they are lying as soon as they open their mouths.

And I believe the km based road tax is the likely future scenario. It's already been suggested before. It will keep being put out there as a thought bubble to get people used to the idea. Then when there are enough EV's on the road they will introduce it. Just a matter of time.
