Ohio has already started on extra charges. $100 extra for license plates for hybrid cars and $200 for electric vehicles. The plates for my Camry hybrid cost more than my dually, class c and other car-combined. :M :M
Be it good or bad, both IMHO
At least here in Wa St, EV and log rigs do not pay fuel tax on fuels used to go down the road. So those folks do not pay into funds for repairs. ASSUMING that is how your jurisdiction like mine gets road repair maintenance funds. The extra being paid to register your EV, should and would be expected by me any how, so I'm contributing my share to said projects.
I realize some may not agree with this, reality is, we all need to pay for this in some way shape or form. The big question becomes how!

Marty, don't log trucks and other truckers pay a weight mile tax, that replaces the fuel tax?
I know Oregon is looking at a way to tax EV's on miles driven. Maybe this will be come a standard. I know one of the issues with the mileage tracking devices is privacy issues, as currently are GPS device that track all movement.
When it come to fuel efficiency, compared to a 2,000# car, our Ram DRW (10,000#) does well, we would move a 2,000# car at 75 mpg equivalent
