Just got a new EV in WI & got a bill for an EV surcharge that looks like it’s going to be an annual registration fee of $175. Was curious about comparison states, it looks like MN is extra $75 & IL $100. What does your state charge? Anyone’s state basing their fees on weight or all flat rates?
Indiana increases from $150 to $221 for EVs in 2024. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids go from $50 to $74/yr.
From a ‘tax’ standpoint, PHEV driven mostly on electric is the best deal. They call it a road ‘fee,’ not a ‘tax.’ Semantics is how they get around charging standard hybrids anything, and this should be unconstitutional, according to Indiana’s equal protection clause. No one has yet taken it to court.
I hope someone in states that now tax L2 public charging sessions challenges the legality of required metering to collect the tax. If a business or non-profit wants to give away free charging as a perk, they have every right to.
