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?

    The $175 is a little more than what the Wisconsin gas tax was on my ICE daily commuter ($150 assuming a generous 10,000 miles per year @ 22 mpg), but when you consider the federal tax on top of that I’m also not paying now I come out a little ahead. Obviously that won’t be true for a more fuel efficient vehicle, but the math works out for a 15 year old mid size SUV.
