My non-plugin hybrid is charged the EV registration fee in WA. They say it's to support adding more EV chargers, but I can't even use them. It's not terrible, but an additional $75/yr is stupid IMHO...this is more expensive that my gas guzzling truck (which is higher than a car because of it's weight). https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/washingtons-hybrid-and-electric-car-owners-find-a-75-fee-in-their-new-car-tab-bills/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/was...

Well it kinda makes sense - eventually you will have to use EV chargers because ICE cars will get phased out entirely(maybe not in 10 but in 30 years for sure) so we're all paying forward for the infrastructure that we're all going to need.

  No -- gas cars don't pay the EV charger fee. It makes no sense for GP's non-plugin hybrid to pay it.

    Well if they don't then why is OP's car required to pay it then?

      I think you've touched on why OP was complaining about it!
