$1K is some arbitrary number that you made up. The infrastructure to recycle, not dispose of, lithium-ion batteries continues to scale with EV sales. This is similar to what happened with lead-acid batteries as essentially 99% of lead acid batteries are recycled, not disposed of.

Therefore, an EV fee of about $200 per year would be about right on average. You really only need to get the average about right instead of creating additional bureaucracy to try to attempt to monitor how much individual people drive.

This is the correct way.

However, keep in mind that electricity is already being taxed; for home charging there just isn't a way to send that money to fund roads. For Level 3 charging, which is only being used for EVs, there is and this opens up the possibility of double taxation.

So true, and so overlooked by the tax EVs more crowd.
