According to the new law, whenever anyone buys a new electric vehicle in Texas, he must pay $400. This extra is for road maintenance

This fee has been imposed on electric vehicles only because the government believes that other gasoline vehicles keep contributing to road construction through fuel tax

Now these fees are being implemented in other states as well because electric vehicles are increasing rapidly, so fuel tax is coming down.

Many people are also supporting this additional fee because this fee is very necessary to raise money for the roads. Because electric vehicles escape fuel tax.
