That's... probably not enough? I don't think $200/year for each electric vehicle would be anywhere close to paying for road maintenance.

They really ought to switch to taxing the tires instead of fuel.

I disagree. People already run tires dangerously bald. We shouldn't attach further economic disincentives to replacing safety critical components.
