I get your point and tend to agree that they cause no damage. However, the infrastructure still must be maintained. Roads fall into disrepair regardless of use, lines must be repainted, and traffic signals require servicing.
You raise a good point though. Perhaps roads should be maintained through local and federal taxes instead of being an additional tax at the pump. Owners of electric vehicles get to dodge their share of maintaining the roads altogether.
