Gas tax is used to construct and repair the same roads EV cars use.

Exactly. EVs don't pay the gas taxes that fund roads. Users of the roads should pay for the roads they drive on. Driving an EV is still cheaper, cleaner and lower cost - even with $0.01/mi tax added on. (average recommended EV road tax) The devil will be in the details though for sure.

But Oregon has been one of the states with the most EV vehicles for some time now. This was inevitable, why wouldn't they update/make changes years ago? They waited until the last minute hoping to be bailed out by idk who. Now the "people" have to pay. Smh

Honey, the “people” have to pay for everything. If the EV owners got by without it for awhile, good for them. But roads and repairs aren’t free.

Did you read anything else I typed?

Sure did. “EV vehicles” is redundant.

And I am already subsidizing with my substantially additional fees when I buy my license plate sticker. The trucks ruin the roads while the CEOs make 50m a year. The companies need to pay to repair the roads they use to make a profit. You and I are trying to get to work. Regardless I don’t use gas.

Your cars still use the roads, why do you think you deserve a free ride?

I already pay more than double the license plate sticker. Thst was supposed to cover it. The corporations making billions off the trucks ruining the roads should be paying. I’m already paying when I get my sticker. Stop giving CEOs 50 million a year

I also drive an EV, but the items often paid for by gas taxes should be shared expenses regardless

Thank you.

I already pay for this through the additional charge added to my license plate sticker. The roads are destroyed by trucks making a profit. They need to stop paying CEOs 50mil a year and pay their fair share. I’m just going to work. You all are not holding big biz accountable.

Me going to work and to see my grandkids is absolutely not destroying a single road. No one human could. It’s the truck.
