    As pissed as I get at fees, electric cars don’t typically pay a gas tax, the taxes we levy on fuel pay for road maintenance so that fee should be for road repairs. In my very small car I pay around $1.80 or so each week in federal fuel tax (not sure what I pay to the state, but those combined is very likely over $130/yr).

      Electric cars pay electricity tax. Gas cars pay gasoline tax. We don’t need to tax electric cars even more.

      The gullible part is thinking the federal government fixes the roads with your money at all. More than likely it’ll go to Israel.

      I bet the pick ups will pay less than an EV driver and are one of the main causes of road damages
