What an intelligent and nuanced opinion you have. Most of the drivers in the US drive less than an hour a day for their commute. (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-travel-time-to-work-rises.html)
Even if they jumped straight on the highway at 70mph, they’d still have 2 or 3 days before they would need to recharge. Not to mention that most of the time I average about 35mph on my mixed driving commute, the real distance most people drive is much less than that generous estimate. Charging overnight off a regular wall outlet will easily replenish those miles as well.
As for paying taxes to build roads, as a hybrid owner in my state, I actually pay more per mile than almost every other vehicle type. I pay more than my share for the roads.
Try thinking a little bit before you assume that your outdated dinosaur ways are the future for everyone.
I wanna preface this by saying I agree with you BUT aren’t electric vehicles generally heavier than their non electric counterparts? So paying more in taxes sorta evens out with the wear and tear that those heavier vehicles would put on the road.
That said, I’m just an ignorant dude with no sources so feel free to call me out.
