The kind of people choosing an EV wouldn't get a 20mpg car, it's an unfair comparison.

They also chose a car that's extremely heavy (by virtue of the battery), so they create more road wear per mile than the average American car. The point is that tax rate seems fair.
The ICE I would have picked otherwise is only 100kg lighter and gets 40mpg.
And you’d be paying gas tax
Far less than what I'm paying with the EV, which is my point!
