Yes, and they have been for a few years now. I don’t know of a state that doesn’t charge higher tab fees for EVs in 2026. Maybe Alaska?

Apparently they're 1.9% of all vehicles currently on the road, do you consider that to be "that widespread"? I was aiming for 51%. > I don’t know of a state that doesn’t charge higher tab fees for EVs in 2026 That doesn't mean EVs are widespread, it just means states want to favor ICEs more than EVs.
- seanmcdirmid 5mo agoI’m pretty sure the “every other car is a Tesla” phenomena is localized, but still widespread in the sense that it was 0% not too long ago.
- angoragoats 5mo agoI own an EV in Massachusetts and I’m not aware of any extra EV fees of any sort here. The only EV-specific thing the DMV even offers is an EV-only license plate, and the bi-annual registration fee for that plate is the same as a standard passenger vehicle plate ($60). There’s a map here: https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/special-registration-fees-for-electric-and-hybrid-vehicles https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/special-registration-fee... Looks like most of the northeast, plus AK, FL, AZ, NM, and NV are in the same boat.
