Some states implement an ev-specific road tax on top of it. It’s $300 biannually for me - that’s easily triple what my gas bill was (I don’t drive all that far anymore). Even hybrids get a charge too.
It’s ostensibly to make up for the lack of fuel tax income, which is fine, but IMO should be based on mileage and weight, and apply to gas/diesel too - big heavy trucks and Escalades are causing more road wear then the Chevy Bolts putting around.

I would agree with you there. Tax by curb weight at least - mileage is a little harder to enforce imo
