Fuel taxes pay for roads. If you don’t buy fuel you don’t help pay for roads to drive your EV on.

Fuel taxes pay for roads. If only other types of taxes could be used to pay for roads… But alas, only gas taxes can be used for that. Entirely different monetary system, that. Roads need gas money and regular money just won’t do.

I own an EV and already pay an extra road tax for having an EV to my state. Why should I pay another one to the federal government?

Fuel tax only pays 25% of the cost of roads.

Duh, the issue here is it’s a flat rate. It should just be calculated by mileage driven.
