@arstechnica This is…BS. I’m ok with replacing the lost gasoline taxes, but:

Fed gas taxes are $0.183/gallon. That's the equivalent of 1366 gallons of gas taxes for EVs. Assuming 30MPG, that’s equal to gas taxes for 41,000 miles of driving. I drove 7,000 miles last year.

I’ll be expecting a refund when we get these idiots out of office.
