The issue here is the eff'd us. State gas tax is $.20/gallon. So that would cover 1,000 gallons of gas. If my car got 30 mpg, then I could go 30k miles. How many people drive 30k miles in an EV? Not a lot, though there are some. Average person drives about 12k miles a year. Factor in the serious, Ben Dover effing for the initial registration and you can see how bad it really is.
I'd need to be driving a pickup with 10 mpg, to even make this remotely fair, let alone the initial Ben Dover registration fee. That is the problem I have it it. It isn't even remotely fair and limited thought was put into this. FYI - my last diesel pickup got 30 mph on the highway and if I drove a Prius and used it for comparison, we got eff'd even more.
Make it $100 a year and no complaints from me.
