True, you use the roads. But you don't pollute them like ice cars do. All those fumes people breathe on a freeway trip shorten others lives, increase the cost of health care and cause millions of people to develop lung and breathing problems. The cost of maintaining the roads pales in comparison.
If the gas tax were to be fair to all, it would be around $5/gallon. I think it's appalling that the state politicians have levied taxes on EV's. The feds have it right, they provide EV's with tax incentives, not a disincentive to electrify our nation's transport. With the price of EV's constantly dropping into middle America's affordability range, there should be more tax incentives to switch. The gas tax should go up so they don't have to tax EVs. It's only fair (for the reasons mentioned above). Gas car drivers are getting away with manslaughter! And don't get me wrong, I still have an 18 mpg Ford F-150! I should have to pay to pollute to incentivize me to use the solution that costs society the least.
