Depending on the state, in some states you always save money Vs. gas tax, but in others unless you're in the top 10% or even top >5% of drivers by miles driven, you're likely paying more in EV fees than gas tax would cost. If you only drive your EV low distances, you're particularly negatively impacted.
There are some programs meant to help with fix this, but they involve putting a GPS tracker in your vehicle that both drains the battery and robs you of your privacy, so you're exchanging one problem for another.
PS - Many of these states also target Hybrids and Plug-In Hybrids with these fees and many of the problems listed above also impact them.
