From California’s own Road Charge site Best Bob B Just a little research on that as it makes no sense, "The standard calculation is that road wear goes up as the square (conservatively; fourth power is well documented for heavy trucks) of the weight. So the Hummer (9500 lbs) causes about 100 times the damage of a Prius (3000 lbs). Even at the conservative second power, it causes 10 times as much damage. Heavier vehicles of course also require that bridges be built for heavier loads, increasing their built cost as well as maintenance." according to this articlehttps://gettingaroundsac.blog/2023/12/16/road-charge/ Hard to swallow that it would be the same. Easier to believe 10x or even 100x imo |
