The math doesn’t work out very well for Washington, and I’m leaving out federal gas tax in the math below.

Washington has a gas tax of 55.6 cents per gallon. The tax on 405 gallons of gas in Washington is $225

Average mileage driven in US looks to be around 14,000 miles (plus or minus 500 miles), which means you’d need a car that averages 34.5 miles per gallon to pay less in gasoline tax than you’d pay in EV tax.
