If they’re EVs they’re heavier, causing more road wear, and don’t pay gas taxes
Except in NJ where you get raked over the coals for your yearly car tax… errr… “registration”.
It’s the damnest thing; they seem to lose my vehicle registration every year but my marriage registration is good indefinitely.

And I’m ok with that.
What I’m not ok with is registering my vehicle every year. Just call it a tax and be done with it.
