It has simply a matter of time when TXDOT decides that our Teslas and the Leafs and the ______ (fill in the blank) need to be taxed, similarly to the cars in Washington state. I surmise they will put some registration tax (ever wonder what the bridge tax is on your registration) to EV owners at some insane rate of $150 or so.
We need to be prepared for this, inasmuch as there is a double taxing situation. We pay tax to the electric company and then tax to the TXDOT, or something of the sort.
I am sure there are some barristers on this site from Texas. If anyone has insight on how we can be ready to combat this, or at least lessen the threat (we still pay tollway fees, we still pay road and bridge tax, etx.) it might be worth preparing for.
