Terrible policy.
Each gallon of gas sold is taxed to cover road repairs.
EVs dont buy gas so they dont pay this tax - yet they weigh 3x more then an avg car and cause way more damage to the roads and infrastructure.
That alone is going to destroy the nation. Endless other reasons why EVs suck but come-on man. FJB
People in an NJ subreddit were throwing fits because NJ realizes this, and was going to have a separate fee for registering EVs. The fee was miniscule compared to the gas tax, but them morons were howling how they're "saving the planet" and shouldn't be paying higher fees to use the roads.
