  • LOL Nevada bases theirs on vehicle MSRP and age so you get wildly different registrations. My wife’s 1972 GMC C1500 is $35/year. My 1977 Mercedes Benz 6.9 was (RIP) $55/year. My 2021 base model Nissan Leaf was ~$250/year. My Subaru Ascent was ~$550/year. My 2021 Mustang Mach E GTPE was >$800 this year - almost $900.

    I would be okay paying up to a $200/year surcharge. We have no income tax in Nevada, generally low taxes all around, and I don’t pay any fuel taxes as we have a Bolt EUV and Mach E now and we only take the C1500 a few times a year. I have no problem contributing to the roads.


  • I can tell you why my wife and I didn’t buy an ID4 as well as an Ioniq 5 (different reasons).

    First, the Ioniq 5 was great but the dealer wasn’t. 29 sitting on the lot, all with a $5,000-$10,000 markup. Wouldn’t let us test drive. Test drove a used one at another dealership but then they tried to change the price and increase it when we showed interest.

    Now, the ID4 was a whole experience. First off, it was a disappointing driving experience. Compared to the Ioniq 5 it felt sluggish. Additionally the sale person was straight up being dishonest about tax credits with him and his manager saying everything was eligible. I pulled vins from their site and at the time not a single vehicle on their lot was eligible.

    Ended up getting a Mach E below market value.
