Not only that, EV are aren't reducing their driving cost as much as you might think. At least that's the case here in North Carolina. The local news reported that the state of NC was losing approximately 15 to 18 million dollars a year in gas tax revenue due to EV. So, they instituted an annual fee for EV owners. This fee is said to be the same as if they paid for a year's gas tax with the average vehicle. Whatever the state thinks that is.
