Some math, to make a bit of sense of this: A $300 charge is what would be collected on 2000 L of fuel ($0.15/L) A reasonable gas vehicle would get about 8L/100km That $300 charge would be equivalent to that gas vehicle driving 25,000 km in a year. Anecdotally, I’ve driven my EV about that in two years. “But EVs are so much heavier than ICE vehicles!” My EV is about 2000 kg. My similar size hatchback is 1650 kg.
