The UK has very substantial petrol taxes, which approximate a mileage tax. I don’t know how exactly the funding is managed in the UK, whether the money goes into general revenue or is allocated straight to road maintenance, but the ICE vehicle drivers are ultimately paying for roads one way or another.

And I’d say that that’s reasonable — I’ve no opposition to road vehicles at all, but road construction and maintenance is an externality, and you’d want to have that priced in, if you want the market to do efficient allocation of resources.

BEVs also make use of the road (and in fact, I suspect that due to the generally-greater-weight, they probably create more wear-and-tear, if anything).
