    State lawmakers imposed the new fee on EVs this spring to replace gasoline taxes lost to the switch to battery-powered vehicles

    This is a good thing, but poorly-implemented. Should instead be tied to mileage driven.

      Some function of axle weight and mileage would probably be the best combination

        Or recognize the roads and related infrastructure as a public good and use general funds to pay for it instead of leaning into a user pay model.
