t In Texas, there is a $200 extra fee you pay each year for having an EV. As someone who supports the move towards EVs, that seems fair to me. But at some point, we also need to just tax gas more like they do cigarettes
Heavier EV vehicles (consumer) don’t weigh anything near what freight trucks weigh. Running 10,000 cars a day over them compared to 10,000 consumer EV vehicles won’t make much of a difference. EV freight trucks, however, may well need to push the 80,000 GVW limit to make financial sense for those trucking companies. Those trucking companies have their work cut out for themselves in trying to get the American taxpayer to subsidize their damage to our roadways.
