lol one of the things I thought when I was in paris is how it would be impossible to have all the people walking or biking or taking public transport drive and it still remain paris. you'd have to bulldoze everything to build roads wide enough to handle the traffic and have enough parking. plus it's hard to build in paris because of the old limestone mines, you can't build deep foundations for huge buildings/parking garages. plus the roads that do exist are much nicer than anything I saw in the US.

i know they suck too but they pay a gas tax for the roads and only like half the states charge for EVs to slap tires against roads as well

More EVs on the road is adding to funding strains in places like Michigan, which has struggled to find enough state and local revenue to keep their roads in good shape.

Michigan is one of at least 31 states that impose additional registration fees for owners of electric vehicles, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But advocates there say it isn’t enough.

A study commissioned by the County Road Association of Michigan and other groups found that owners of electric vehicles paid 70% to 80% in state and federal taxes and fees compared to what owners of gas-powered vehicles paid. Even so, researchers estimated that from 2019 to 2021, Michigan drivers paid $50 million less toward road funding because drivers switched to electric vehicles.

I get what you're saying, but states will eventually figure out the math. Whether that is a more accurate flat fee average, or in states where yearly inspections are a thing, based on miles driven in a year.

Maybe the states should charge construction companies and truckers more since their giant rear end dump trucks are ruining the roads more than a small electric vehicle. Those assholes are also leaving debris everywhere which damages cars too.
