Texas gas taxes are $0.20 state tax, plus $0.184 Federal tax for $0.384 per gallon total.
$400 / $0.384 = 1042 gallons of gasoline in equivalent taxes.
Typical annual mileage per vehicle runs around 12,000 miles. Most cars get much better than the 11.51 mpg implied by the tax.
So Texas EV users are being financially punished for cleaning up the air. Which is very, very much on-brand for Texas. I'm amazed they aren't outlawed.
