I'm curious. So as more and more people adopt EVs in Norway, do you think they would raise taxes somewhere else to make up for the lost revenue from fuel taxes? Sorry, I'm American and I can't help but think that way. It's the way of life here!
Well, we do have taxes on electricity also, but they just can't make up for all of the fuel-taxes on this alone. But I understand that the fuel-taxes in the US is some sort of "road-tax" to pay for the roads? That is not how it works here. Here the roads (in principle) is paid over the normal taxes, and again over an yearly car-tax (from witch EV's are more or less excepted), and again with toll-roads (from witch EV's are still excepted). But some of the fuel-taxes is meant to compensate the health expenditure that the traffic causes. And that is expected to get lower as more cars is emission-free.
So no, I do not know about any plans to compensate for the lost revenue from fuel taxes. But is there anything that politicians are skilled at, it's finding new ways to fleece people for their money
