It points out that EVs only account for 1% of vehicles on the road. Fuel taxes don't go up with inflation, so that's why road maintenance revenue is drying up, because fuel tax is actually not high enough to properly keep up with road repairs. EVs do pay extra state fees in most states as a replacement for fuel taxes. They are usually not heavy vehicles so they don't put as much wear and tear on the roads.
And in fact: "Furthermore, a 2019 analysis by
Consumer Reports found that, of the 26 states that imposed EV fees at that time, 11 charged more than the amount paid in gas taxes by owners of comparable legacy vehicles, and 3 charged more than double the amount."
So, EVs are actually subsidizing gas/diesel vehicle road use.
