The government isn’t going to track exactly how much people drive in order to tax them equitably and precisely. There’s no system in place for that, and it would be time and labor intensive. Yes, I know some people deduct work mileage but that’s a different ballgame. States don’t want to deal with this stuff. Flat taxes collect revenue efficiently.

It sucks, but we’re just going to have to pay it. Taxes aren’t fair and as we all know, other cars put plenty of wear on the road and also cause a lot of environmental problems, but it is what it is.

I believe you, but I just want to note that I have had the exact opposite experience with my EV concierge. They have always been really responsive and on top of things. I am 100% with you about the dealerships. They are a huge pain in the ass and they are the reason you even need an EV concierge, which is ridiculous. You shouldn’t need some special party to interface with a fucking car dealership to repair anything.
