A majority of the states charge an EV registration fee to make up for the gasoline tax they aren’t paying (to support road maintenance). Those states that don’t currently do this will undoubtedly do it in the future. Recycling infrastructure is being built out to support the recycling of EV batteries, just as it was for the lead acid batteries in gas cars. You have little say on what your tax dollars support. For example, your tax dollars supported gain-of-function research in China and supports mortgages in the US. Get used to it, if you haven’t already.

I don’t want my tax dollars going for this, have every EV owner subsidize this, I don’t want them and I will never need them, so I shouldn’t pay for them.
All EV owners need to pay their fair share of road maintenance, and the costs of the new charging stations across the country. It costs way more for an EV, and with these extra costs, nobody would look at buying an EV.
