Illinois wants to raise their gas tax to 44 cents per gallon. Assuming 20 mpg you'd have to drive about 45,000 miles to hit $1000 in State gas tax. If you factor in the Federal gas tax too, it drops to about 30,000 miles. The average American driver drives less than 15,000 miles per year. So a fair equivalent in terms of EV tax would be $500 or less, especially if you consider that the drivers racking up the most miles per year are probably the least likely to buy EV vehicles due to range and charging station limitations.
