Silliest thing is, atleast in Finland they collect this tax on electric vehicles too (not hybrids though).
I stick to gasoline since I drive around 8000 km per year.
In Finland (and many other European countries) we have an annual diesel tax (around 500e on a mid sized car, weight dependent). On the other hand, diesel costs (yesterday average) 1.379e/l and 95 octane gasoline 1.586e/l.
So with the same mid sized car you have to drive around 10 000 km per year to break even.
