The idea is sound but the tax appears to be disproportionate to what internal combustion vehicles pay. Texas taxes gas at 20 cents per gallon: https://www.thecentersquare.com/texas/texas-drivers-pay-20-cents-per-gallon-in-state-gas-taxes/article_c1c3ecd4-640e-11ea-97b8-03e422bf4d6f.html https://www.thecentersquare.com/texas/texas-drivers-pay-20-c... A Texan driver would have to buy 2000 gallons of gas a year to pay $400 in gas taxes to Texas. That seems pretty high when the average Texan drives 16347 miles per year [1]; it implies fuel economy of only 8.2 MPG at average travel distance. Even the big Ford F-450 has better average fuel economy than that.
