As we probably all know, the gas tax is too low to pay for the damage done, so if anything, it should go up, to account for the saying "the polluter pays".
Cutting taxes is one of those viral ideas that sounds great if you don't think about it. The average Joe thinks that anything that cuts HIS taxes is good -- he doesn't think about the consequences. So politicians and other rabble-rousers love to use it to get votes.
I don't mind an EV-specific tax if the money actually pays for some EV-related benefit. What irks me is when it just goes into a "slush fund" with no accountability on what it really gets used for (standard practice for American taxation).
