I mean, it is fair that EV's should pay their fair share in road tax for the roads they drive on - they've been getting a free ride up until now. And this scenario is playing out in various US states and Europe as well, as governments are realizing that road tax revenue from gasoline taxes is drying up.

The fact that the AB government is at the same time suspending the road tax portion in gasoline prices to make things "more affordable" for Albertans is a bit disingenuous.
