An Uber driver who's gone electric says he's happy to pay road user charges, but if the govenrment wants to keep driving people toward cleaner greener options, it's got to carve the costs up fairly. From April, light electric vehicles that have previously been exempt from road user charges will have to pay. The cost is 76 dollars per thousand kilometres. By comparison, a much heavier diesel truck weighing between three and half thousand and 6000 kilograms currently pays 82 dollars every thousand kilometres. The Transport Minister says the new charges are about fairness and equity and will ensure all road users are contributing to road maintenance.
