It’s because you don’t pay gas taxes (which pays for road maintenance).
The problem is the EV fees are ridiculously high, which makes them a penalty.
We should switch to mileage reading + car weight = car tax paid at yearly inspection for all vehicles (including trucks and buses).
Or don't tax EV's as an incentive for a healthier city. Just spitballing here.
