That's usually the case, as electric vehicles don't pay taxes on gas which is used for roads. Basically a system to make people who drive pay for the roads (and people who drive more will pay more as well).

I would be happy to pay for that purpose, but it's way more tax than I would pay in fuel for the number of miles I drive.

Plus they've been waiving gas tax to make themselves look better on gas prices. So, right now, I'm subsidizing gas drivers.

If you're not paying for it, it's not yours.

True, though paying for it is no guarantee of ownership in this modern era, either.
