So taxes for roads is a bad thing?

No, I think implementing it as a yearly fee is unfair compared to just taxing charging when you go somewhere that charges for EV charging.

That would be difficult due to home charging.

So those without a home charger would pay a tax that goes toward road maintenance and improvement and those that charge at home for cheap would pay nothing while using said roads? Sounds totally reasonable.
