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
I'm confused. Why are you angry at being asked to provide a small percentage of your share to keep the roads up?
I think the issue you are seeing is how do states tax road usage of EV equably to fossil fueled vehicles.
Until they can devise a way to track mileage driven then higher registration fees are one method.
It would be nice to have a method to track mileage without invading privacy.
Is Mo the only state that requires a safety inspection every couple of years? And part of that report of total mileage on the vehicle? And the mileage on the vehicle every time it is bought/sold?
Why not ask owners how many miles expect to drive each year, and pay the fuel tax that a average ICE would pay? And if there is a big underestimate the fine would be so large, say 10X what tax would of been? Sure, some of each driver might put miles in another state, but others will drive in his home state so probably a wash
