Is that on top of or included in your registration? In Oregon, we have different prices to renew your registration $126 for the worst fuel economy vehicles up to $316 for EVs, so an extra “tax” of $190.

While I do agree with your points and EV owners should get some cost off their registration, I’m going to play devil’s advocate here. The tax vacation was due to high fuel prices, because you don’t buy the fuel that is subject to high prices, why would you get a tax break? It would be the same as ICE vehicle buyers wanting a tax break on vehicle purchases because EV buyers got one.

I do think the registration fees are high in most places, they should be the normal registration plus the average mileage of your state ÷ average fuel economy of a vehicle X gas tax. So in GA (using some national averages) it would be about 13.5k ÷ 25.4 X 31.2 = $166. This would also help to couple EV taxes to current fuel taxes.

Your link says registration is $316 for full EV and $126 for older vehicles. You’re looking at the price of the title, which is paid when purchasing.

PHEVs are in the sweet spot here, as their registration is based on fuel economy still at $156, plus I can drive most of my miles on battery.

Central Oregon here with Central electric co-op. At $0.074 /kwh all the time.
