That's not a very lofty breakeven for EV owners coming from hybrids. I don't know how ex-hybrid owners compare to those only chasing the latest tech trends or those coming from comparable luxury cars. I doubt the people who bought it for acceleration are significant.
All that to say, seems fair. The roads have to get fixed and there's a case to only charge the users. There's also a case to not make the cost of entry to a public service any higher, but that's rooted elsewhere. It will be $250 the year after and adjusted for inflation after that. So not that great, but electricity is still way cheaper than the gas itself if you can charge at home.
