From ChatGPT:
"" EV-specific taxes:
• Some states have begun charging annual EV fees to replace lost gas tax revenue (e.g., $100–$200/year), but these are not included in the per-kWh rate.
✅ So yes — most quoted EV charging rates include electricity taxes and fees, but not long-term vehicle fees.
⸻
⛽ Gasoline Prices: Do Include Taxes
• The price per gallon already includes federal and state fuel taxes:
• Federal gas tax: ~18.4¢/gallon
• State gas tax: varies, up to ~60¢/gallon (e.g., California, Illinois)
• Combined, taxes can make up 10–20% of the price at the pump.
✅ Gas prices at the pump always include taxes.
⸻
🧮 Bottom Line (Adjusted View):
• EV charging cost per mile includes most usage-based taxes.
• Gasoline cost per mile includes all per-gallon fuel taxes.
• Annual EV fees (in some states) slightly offset the savings — worth factoring in for long-term cost comparisons."
