Another state actively disincentivising electric vehicle adoption by charging extra. It is an incredibly stupid policy. All else being equal, electric cars are less bad than gas cars.
Motor vehicles should be taxed based on mileage and weight. If drivers can save money on their taxes by driving a car that is less bad for the environment, that a good thing, and a sign of effective policy.
Because they're not buying gas, the state is trying to reclaim some of that money.
I understand this but, I don't understand why there is two fees for it. They have a 30$ electric vehicle fee on registration ontop of the existing cost, and then also plan to have an electric charge per mile fee later on. Like at that point remove or alter the 30$ charge to be all vehicles. They are trying to double dip.
