    My theory is that they’re missing out on the taxes I would normally pay if I bought gas and need to recoup their losses.

    I don’t think you need to refer to that as a theory. Taxes on fuel for motor vehicles go towards road maintenance. Vehicles that drive on the roads but don’t burn gas or diesel, don’t pay their share of the road maintenance costs. That’s why states want to tax EVs.
