> Won't 100% carbon-neutral electric 18-wheelers need to pay a share for the maintenance?
No, they don't have to. While a usage fee model is one possible model, there's no reason it couldn't be paid out of general taxes, like the income taxes mentioned upthread.
Which you pay for from a general carbon tax, which is a tax on all carbon generating activities. I probably didn't make that clear sorry. Essentially I am saying infrastructure should come out of the general budget and we shouldn't fuss with counting KMs at all. A carbon tax on all CO2 polluting activities would just inflate the general tax revenue and hopefully enough to pay for the infrastructure upkeep.
Yes.
