That has no bearing on gas tax at all. You buy expensive toys, you pay expensive prices for them. Should the owner of a TV Premier Home be given a tax break because the house costs more than a Patio Villa? That is the argument you are making because electric cars costs more.

No, that is not the point I am making. If the Phantom is not electric then there is no tax credit even though it is more expensive than most EVs.
On the other hand, if the owner of the TV Premier Home installs solar panels and reduces the load on the electrical grid then yes, maybe he should be given a tax break. The extra costs he is paying provides some tangible benefit to others (reduced loading leading to extended lifetime) and perhaps that should be rewarded in some minimal way.
