It is taxed but none of that tax goes to road use or maintenance. That's the problem.While I do not own an EV....Isn't electric consumption already taxed? I have not looked at my B.G.E. bill lately, but I am sure it is there.
Unpopular opinion: Every single person benefits from roads, even people that don't own cars. The fuel tax should be eliminated and an entirely new tax structure should be developed where everyone pays. I don't have all the answers and I can't tell you what that would look like. I loathe taxes but I simply cannot envision how roads would be maintained without them unless you want all roads to be privately owned and operated toll roads.
