They absolutely should pay, just like any other user of our roads.I never really thought about this before but Texas has. Since EV's don't buy gas, and part of the taxes collected on gasoline go toward road maintenance, should EV owners pay a tax for road maintenance? As more EV's come into the picture and gas cars are phased out, causing less purchases of gasoline and less gas taxes collected, shouldn't all vehicles on the road pay a road maintenance tax?
State passes new law that will require electric car owners to pay $200 every year: ‘That’s embarrassing … for all of us’
