Texas

Gas taxes, as regressive as they are, were how many states paid to maintain their roads. EV's of course are avoiding those and some method of rectifying this is necessary and appropriate. But the reality is exactly what this action in Illinois exposes. EV's should be taxed in some appropriate way that gas consuming vehicles are. Instead, it appears that states are using this opportunity to raise revenues now, before EV's become vastly more common. In 10 years it will be "this is what we've always taxed EV's to pay for roads and bridges".
