100% But right now, at least in MI, the already shitty road infrastructure is funded in part by gas tax. When that dries up, are the GOP going to be OK raising taxes elsewhere to make up the shortfall? We both know the answer is no. I'm not trying to argue that EVs are better or ICs are better in any specific way. I'm only trying to argue that we need to invest serious political capital into modernizing the way we pay for things we depend on.Infrastructure is always something Democrats do and Republicans starve.
