Manufacturers and dealers play up fuel savings and federal incentives to potential EV customers. However, buyers who follow through on buying an EV may be surprised by an added expense when transferring their plates. Many states — even some that one would characterize as decidedly blue ones that offer generous EV incentives — charge an additional registration fee for electric vehicles.

According to the Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, 39 states charge additional fees beyond the standard car registration for an EV, ranging from $50 to $400. Several of those states also charge reduced added registration fees for plug-in hybrid vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles.

Seems fair since they’re not paying fuel taxes.

and given their curb weight and thus the additional wear and tear on the roads....Its a reason I forsee a mileage charge on EV's to compensate for the lack of Fuel taxes...mark my words...theyll make up the lost income somehow....

Agreed.  And I'm one that had to pay the fee.

 

But, I also vote for a fuel tax increase any time it comes up because I know how badly we need the money for roads with increased fuel economy and other factors leading to crappy roads.  Related note, my wife works for the department of transportation.

Does she open the tax revenue envelopes?
