PODCAST: Byte Size: Road User Charging: An Old Cost Made More Fair and Visible

As Australia’s transition to electric vehicles speeds up, there’s an ever stronger case for a per kilometre road user charge. Connected vehicle technology offers a low friction way to apply such a charge. I discussed these issues with cofounder of Australian connected vehicle business, CompassIOT, Emily Bobis, on her podcast, Byte Size.

Our discussion covers the growing gap between how quickly the fleet is going electric and how slowly the system that funds our roads has adapted, and what needs to change to close it.

What you'll learn:
📍 Where the money for roads actually comes from. 
📍 Why road user charging isn’t a new tax. 
📍 What the shift to electric vehicles does to the funding base. 
📍 What connected vehicle data makes possible now.
