I’m sure there are exceptions, but my bet is that most EV buyers will not be in the least deterred by this tax/fee. Some will consider it a badge of honor. I know my BIL and his wife wouldn’t care for more than 30 seconds the tax on their electric Volvo. The people buying these cars are not working for $15 an hour. It’s the $15 an hour wage earner who is paying for their $7,500 tax credit from the government.
I haven’t done the math, but I’m guessing most ICE drivers are paying a bit more than $200 a year in gasoline taxes.
My lib daughter drives a Tesla, and understands that it’s fair. Grumbles a bit, though.
