Really? Who knew? (though I'm not sure sales tax isn't included in the combined state tax on fuel)

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.
Is the Phantom an EV? If not then what is the comparison? But for a RR EV (or any EV) perhaps part of the sales tax should be diverted to the road fund. At least then there would be some additional value for the additional tax.
