Thanks for the info on the prices though. On the issue of fuel tax, the $66K vehicle would pay something like $1,200 more in sales tax than the gas vehicle. At $200/year, the EV would effectively be pre-paying six years of road usage fees.
Sales tax and gas tax are two different things. The same thing could apply to a person buying a new $20,000 Nissan Versa and one purchasing a new $500,000 Rolls Royce Phantom, but it still has nothing to do with road usage fees.
