Electric cars are already heavily subsidized and not properly taxed.

We live in a capitalist society. The chargers should make enough money to pay for themselves and repairs if there's damage. Or they should pay for insurance.

Subsidies to the fossil fuel industry in the US amount to $20bn per year (source: EESI), and you're upset about $0.1bn for an alternative.
