Here in Michigan our Republican government has instituted a regressive increase on EV license plate registration/renewal fees. The excuse is that EV owners don't pay the tax on fuel that petrol car owners do, but we still put wear on the road and therefore must pay the price. It's a load of crap though. Michigan's famously bad roads are not due to the very few EVs driving on them. It's semi trucks which are permitted to weigh far beyond what the road was engineered to handle. (Michigan has effectively no regulation of truck weight so the trucking companies overload their hauls and destroy our roads.)
