Everybody is looking at EVs when they should be looking at Ford, too. Teslas come with no scheduled maintenance, as they just don't need it. I agree with the road use issue with EVs and other vehicles. Maybe some state will come up with a good answer.
My state has an additional fee for EVs paid yearly during registration. I believe all states do this. No need to get any more complicated than that. EV owners are helping states and cities meet their emission standards.
