this year texas started charging a $200 fee on top of normal taxes to register an electric car
Which is fair. Taxes that pay for roads come from gasoline sales, so a heavier car (that thus wears roads faster) that doesn't pay road taxes is not paying their fair share. Aren't we about fair shares here?
So you agree Trucks and SUVs should pay more than electric cars then right? It is a scale only based on weight and not bias, to make sure they are paying their fair share?
Patchy eyes already pointed it out, but did you forget to read the first phrase of that sentence?
