Kentucky has been doin' that since 2024:   Effective January 1, 2025 The statutorily mandated $0.002 increases in the excise tax and surtax rates per kilowatt hour are as follows: Excise tax: $0.032 Surtax: $0.032 Effective January 1, 2024 House Bill 8, passed during the 2022 Kentucky legislative session, establishes a new excise tax on electric vehicle power distributed by an electric vehicle power dealer for the purpose of charging electric vehicles with an initial base rate of three cents ($0.03) per kilowatt hour.  There is an additional surtax with an initial base rate of three cents ($0.03) per kilowatt hour on electric vehicle power distributed by an electric vehicle power dealer when the electric vehicle charging station is located on state property.      Electric vehicle power dealer is a person who owns or leases an electric vehicle charging station.  *ATTENTION* House Bill 122, passed during the 2024 Kentucky legislative session, changed the definition of electric vehicle power dealer to exclude level 1 and 2 charging stations from taxation. This change applies retroactively to January 1, 2024. Only electric vehicle power dealers with charging stations with a charging capacity greater than 20 kilowatts are required to register, collect, and remit the electric vehicle power excise tax. If you have any questions concerning your account or fillings, please contact the Motor Fuels Tax Section.   Electric vehicle charging station is any place accessible to general public vehicular traffic where electric power may be used to charge a battery or other storage device of a licensed electric vehicle.   If the proposed EV registration fee at the federal level mentioned at the beginning of this thread becomes reality, EV owners in Kentucky (and in most other states) will pay far more in taxes and fees than gasoline vehicle owners.  

It looks kind of bulbous. 

Outside of the grill and the plastic clading, I wouldn't call that styling...they look very similar to one another. 

Yea, don't bother considering a new 2026 Mustang Ecoboost RTR (or any new car, really) if you're evaluating a car to Autocross, Rallycross, and maybe track days too.    My friend in Indianapolis Region SCCA runs a 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth at their autocross events. Other used cars he recommends for proper autocross podium contender are: Mazda Miata ND Mini Cooper R56 and F55 with the B48 engine (S and JCW) Subaru WRX VA Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 & GR86 VW Golf R Mk7  BMW M235i/M240i F22 He says that light and compact is his preference for autocross cars, but that if you have to get a pony car his pick would be Chevy Camaro 6G with the 1LE performance package.

If the long term expectation (20+ years) is that most vehicles will be EV’s then you could just add the highway “gas” tax into the rate per kW purchased at charging station. Basically the same old system. You wouldn’t catch the home chargers but it’s a relatively easy solution otherwise. 

I was expecting a design at least 🤣. The transit isn't the sexiest thing on the road, but there's at least some styling effort put into it. It looks like someone forgot they had to come up with a design on may 20th and didn't start working on it until May 19th at 11 pm. 

Not to mention most autocrossers probably buy used.

Significantly lower price thanks to smaller battery and motor, this is a great move for Ford’s European and UK sales

They still haven't fixed the fuel pump issue on the Bronco FFS  

Just buy something else already, you don't want a Mustang FFS
