This tax is actually a good one. Roads and bridges need constant repairs and that is what the gasoline taxes support. Theses EV drivers have to pay for that as well, it’s just done all at once instead of a gallon at a time............... 😎

I understand, and I get it. You see, I live in New York State. We have gasoline taxes, and tolls, and mileage use taxes, and vehicle registration fees - and you can still lose the fillings in your teeth driving on our roads. Sure you need taxes to maintain your roads, but the people in charge are such poor managers of the taxpayer’s money, that they will squander it on non-transportation pet projects, and then when the roads and bridges are practically crumbling away, they will float a bond issue to ‘fix them’. So yes, tax the EV’s, but I just am skeptical of new taxes wherever they arise.
