This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

UK is doing the same thing. Well over US$200/yr. Flat fee.

Are you talking about Vehicle Excise Duty? All cars pay that although at various rates, the more CO2/km attracts higher rates, going far above what the EVs pay.

Yes, VED...how much C02/km does an EV make?
