Please remember that the gasoline tax does not directly fund road repair. In fact, a significant percentage of the gasoline tax is diverted to other uses such as mass transit (trains). So It is hard to not to giggle a bit that there is a tax on EVs that then goes in part to fund trains running enpty half the time burning diesel. I am not an expert on Washington State's state tax system, but In Mass. all funds collected go to the general fund and are then spent by the legislature. It is prohibited by the state constitution to sequester funds for any specific purpose. Tolls, sales tax on cars, excise tax, even the RMV's profit, which exceeded a half billion recently, all must be placed into the general fund. Good luck trying to figure out how much auto related funding goes in vs how much comes out.
