he state's gas tax would go up 19 cents to 44 cents a gallon,

So $1,000 per year of electric vehicle tax would be the same as about 2,250 gallons of gas per year. Assuming 25 MPG, a gas user would need to accumulate 56,250 miles per year to pay the same amount of tax. Of course, since the electric car user has been getting away with zero gas tax in the past, you could consider the 1K price today to be catch-up for the taxes these people should have paid in the past.

Of you could also call it "Reparations." That term would make it popular with the influenced voters in Illinois who have turned the state blue.

Anything that would piss off a Prius owner is a good thing. Besides, the only Fair Tax is the tax that taxes you and not me.

This shouldn't bother them. The "benefit" to the planet should be worth the extra $1000, not to mention the satisfaction of showing the world that they care. They have chosen a vehicle that only exists as a hybrid, and is distinctive (ugly) enough that anyone who sees them will have no doubt that this is truly a "good person" who deserves admiration.
