Rideshare Monkey
A Minnesota Republican rep also recently introduced a proposal for a $250 annual EV surcharge and a $125 fee on Hybrids. It's almost as if someone else is writing these bills in a coordinated attack on EVs at the state level.
The justification is that EVs and even (shockingly) hybrids are not paying their fair share in road taxes. Minnesota already has an $75 surcharge per EV. In addition to the fact that we basically pay property tax on our vehicles each year. My bill this year for my Model S and Model 3 came to about $2000 (Per year). It's shocking to me that they are even doing this to owners of hybrids, because they are too fuel efficient. Not to mention the fact that everyone who fuels up an EV already pays taxes on the fuel (the electricity is taxed).
This just seems like horrible policy, at a time everyone is buying SUVs by the boatloads and gas in the US is at historic low prices, we are attacking EVs and Hybrids. For shame.
Minnesota Republican-backed tax on hybrid and electric cars would be highest in U.S. – Twin Cities
It's the not-enough-carbon tax. Not too hard to figure out who is writing this legislation and handing it to the pols.
