Yes, but how much more do you pay in electricity, assuming you charge at home using utility power? I'm sure it's less than the cost of the gasoline but it's not zero. The state is also foregoing whatever taxes it would have collected on that gasoline, as well as assuming the costs of whatever credits and other goodies they are handing out. Yet the roads still need to be maintained. When and how does that lost revenue get made up? Indiana for example already charges a hefty registration fee for EVs to partly make up for the lost gasoline tax revenue, since it's not really practical to tax the electricity used for charging.
