Well unlike stadiums, everyone benefits from the roads in one way or another as RedDevil pointed out. I'd be more ok with being taxed if I actually saw the money being used toward something. People buy gas all day, every day and yet the roads around me keep getting sh!ttier every year. Adding another tax for the EVs to "pay their share" annoys me becuase we all know the money is just gong to be wasted.
