EVs need to pay their fair share for road usage not being funded by duties/taxes on fuel ICE vehicles pay, but how? Higher annual registration fee?

Jump to postThe Super Bowl used to be in early January. But it's been gradually creeping deeper into the next year's calendar as the regular season schedule and playoff schedule has expanded over the years.
I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this decade, the Super Bowl finds its way into a March date.
Saw this on another message board: Both Kansas City and Philadelphia beat the AZ Cardinals at State Farm Stadium this season. The Cardinals finished this season with only one home win. Therefore, the winner of the Super Bowl will have more wins at State Farm Stadium in the 2022-2023 season than the ...
