I am not saying that electric vehicles are a bad thing, but they are most certainly not zero emissions. Where do you think the power comes from to charge those things? Oh yea, a plug in the wall.
What about the fossil fuels being burned to create our power. Environmental thinking has to be brought about on all fronts, not just the cars.
And to answer the OP, yes I do agree that taxes should be raised. My only concern is with people who have to pay for gas and drive for a living, like taxi drivers.
