I've been making the point that fuel duty and car taxes (if your country has them) need to be removed and road pricing brought in.

Price per litre of diesel in the USA is about $0.75 vs $1.64 in the UK. Given that Tesla stated that the truck would pay for itself within 2 years ($200,000 in diesel savings), we're talking 11 months in the UK.

The implication is that eHGVs will radically reduce the tax revenue of countries that have focused on fuel duty creating a significant problem for road maintenance.

Dynamic road pricing, based not only on time of day, but also vehicle type, is probably the only way forward.
