Wow, That’s something to consider. As more and more EVs are on the road-are bridges, overpasses and garages at even more risk of failure from the weight? Especially the bridges that are old and in dire need of repair or replacement? Example- the I35W bridge collapse in Mpls.
American infrastructure has been crumbling for decades.
I’d see it as a mix of just shitty decaying infrastructure. Combined with heavier vehicles. Especially in the form of EVs.
It doesn’t help the budgets for Roads are usually the first things slashed. So Politicians can fund whatever retarded pet project. Plus a stranglehold of Construction Unions and deliberate choices to use cheaper and worse alternatives to ensure a steady supply of work for the local construction contractors and Unions.
In Ohio we pay........... wait for it........... a gas tax to supposedly maintain our roads. From what we can see it all goes directly into DeWine's pockets. Just think of the drop in revenue if we ALL went EV!! LOL

They're already talking about taxing by odometer to cover loss of fuel tax revenues
