Better than California requiring 0.65% of your vehicle value every year in licensing fees.
Washington state also added a yearly EV registration fee. Their argument is the gas tax pays for road maintenance, but EVs don't consume gas, so they need some other way of extracting money from those owners.
- paulryanrogers 2y agoEVs are heavier which causes more wear on the roads.
- mym1990 2y agoThis makes sense. Gas taxes in almost all states pay for a lot of programs related to DMV activities and what not, so DMVs are having to figure out other ways to recoup the costs of EVs.
