What garbage! Essentially this Jounalista thinks EVS should not have to pay for road Maintenace. She-he-it thinks ICE owners should pay the road maintenance taxes for the EV elite.
How many lies did the author pack into that run-on sentence?
I count four ...
We have two vehicles, 2013 Buick encore for the wife, all the bells and you know. $186 annual registration. My 1997 ford ranger is $64 per year. My kids have newer cars and trucks, 50 percent or more than we pay. Something’s gotta give, government cannot keep milking we the people.
Maybe there should be a TAX on Presstitutes and the entertainment companies they work for to pay for the roads?
The writer states: “while gasoline-powered vehicles, which cause more environmental and infrastructural damage....” Prove it!
Yes ... it's not enough to mix a few facts in with the editorializing, we have to explicitly tell you what to think. Because we're the all-wise, all-knowing gods of society, and you're a pathetic moron.
It is irrelevant that the gasoline tax only covers 1/3 of highway costs if the much heavier EVs pay less per vehicle.

What a slanted pile of s^^t!
This is a cruel tax on the richer people that own electric vehicles.

shedding light on the global trend of taxing eco-friendly vehicles as nations grapple with the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Idiots, if they eliminate the tax revenue from “fossil” fuels, they are going to tax YOU.
gasoline-powered vehicles, which cause more environmental and infrastructural damage..
A total lie which can be proven easily. EVs are anything but ECO friendly.
EVs do not contribute to these costs.
They need to be double taxed the fire damage the do to roads and city streets needs to be covered.
They even set ships on fore before they even get here they need to be banned.
