While I mostly agree with you on the diesel point (though diesel cars pay more tax to begin with, but that's federal), I completely agree with the tax on EVs. As the plan sits the EVs will only pay about half the tax as what gas cars do (on average, due to no federal tax), and in a couple of years it will be almost 1/3. And in reality, almost no one is going to be swayed into (or out of) an EV due to consumption tax concerns, assuming taxes are reasonable.
