Albertans will pay more if they smoke, vape, or drive an EV.

Though you raised some good points I always think of another when it comes to EV tax. In the US at least my electric is taxed. Electric companies can detect what devices are using the electricity, so they know how much kW I used in a year for car charging.

Doing it this way, by electric charging, it would be accurate to the amount of road damage done similar to gas rather than this stupid flat out $200 tax whether you drive 5 miles a month or 5k. Is there anywhere that does this already or why isn't it done like this?
