The heavier EVs will eat up the roads without paying a gas tax to subsidize road repair.
In many US states, EVs already have to pay hundreds of dollars extra during annual registration to offset the state gas tax.
I have mileage records, and even using today's gas tax rate, (which will cause an overestimate) I never paid more than $225 a year, and that was a year 30% above average, and with the lest efficient vehicle I've ever had. 2020 was $80, and if I scale for the mileage I had in a typical year, that comes to $144.
The state gov't came out saying that it was based on the average amount people pay, but the numbers they provided used MPG values so low and mileages so high, you'd think they came from a motorhome doing the coast-to-coast tour.
