Did you know your tax dollars pay $11,833 per EV on the road? This money is primarily spent on incentivizing people to buy EVs, building new charging stations, maintaining current charging stations, and electricity costs.
If governments did not subsidize these costs, the average EV would cost $48,698 more to own for over a decade compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. These numbers are coming from a recent Texas Public Policy Foundation study. A good summation can be found here.
