The law specifically causes the imbalance right now though, so now I’m extra confused. It’s not some predicted possible future, it’s about as immediate and direct as it gets. They’ve accounted for the fact the same vehicle as an EV is heavier, which is probably the best way to do this sort of thing as you don’t want to discourage people from switching to greener options. I was pointing out the imbalance and then speculating on what it might mean in the future.
An extra tax on energy would be one way to do it, although I would personally prefer something directly tied to driving so that people are encouraged to use alternatives when they can.
It’s a response to your specific point about future imbalance and why this specific law won’t cause that.
As for your point in taxation of fuel I imagine it will change to additional taxation of energy.
