Drivers of EVs in Florida are using our roads for free by not paying the highway gas tax that is charged at the gas pump to keep up our roads. Currently there are 31 states that charge a tax-fee at the time of license plate purchase to collect the fair share of EVs use of the roads. I do not know if you are traveling and use a pay to charge station to charge your EV if you pay a highway tax or not. If anyone knows please share that info.

Below is a link to how Florida may be moving towards getting EV owners to start paying their fair share.
