I think the biggest problem is that EVs and hybrids travel less total miles on the road due to their nature, so it should be an odometer based price based on actual usage not a punitive high dollar amount compared to a gas vehicle.

This 5 year old study suggests that some early reports (on early EVs) lead us to believe that it was a universal truth. After all, the early BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf only had ~50-75 mile range. But even as far back as 2019, that had changed, and electric cars were being driven as much, and often more, than their gasoline equivalents.

Kinda opposite really. If I wasn't driving much I'd get a big ass gas guzzler for cheap rather than drop 50k on an EV. Driving long legs in a gas car is pain in the ass too, IDK how people do it.
