@tess yes and there are other underlying factors as well. Take Texas where a new EV registration now runs you 400 bucks. Then it's 200 a year after that.
A typical registration here is under 100 dollars per year.

@tess Interesting - hadn't heard of it in other states although I guess I'm not surprised. At any rate - surely that added cost is also a factor. And without a doubt Texas is doing it to be shitty. |
@RVLara23 that's not uncommon; because roads are typically maintained out of gas taxes and EVs do just as much damage to infrastructure as gas-powered vehicles.
(I mean, Texas is probably doing it to be shitty, but WA does the same thing.)
