I drive around 5000 miles a year and still pay $225/year for my EV. However, Washington is moving to a mileage based system for EVs, hybrids, and high economy cars. They are just going to go by odometer readings, which is about the only way it will work in the USA.
- tedd4u 5mo agoDo you know how they plan to get the odometer data? Thanks.
- cwmoore 5mo agoSome states require annual vehicle inspections.
- seanmcdirmid 5mo agoThe honor system I think, Washington doesn’t require annual inspections.
- loeg 5mo agoWashington doesn't.

- seanmcdirmid 5mo agoIt’s capped at $225, at least during the pilot.
