Yes, I live in supposedly "progressive" Minnesota. It is one of a few states where there is a $75 EV/PHEV SURCHARGE on registration with the logic that they're losing out on gasoline taxes.And in looking for this I noticed that the state, at the same time, wants to hike registration of electrics and hybrids, which is kind of messed up, because you'd think you'd want to encourage people to buy vehicles that don't worsen the air in a place that suffers from terrible inversions in its largest city.
What morons...Yes, I live in supposedly "progressive" Minnesota. It is one of a few states where there is a $75 EV/PHEV SURCHARGE on registration with the logic that they're losing out on gasoline taxes.
non progressive Indiana charges 150 ... i wont even be using clarity that much to recover this.Yes, I live in supposedly "progressive" Minnesota. It is one of a few states where there is a $75 EV/PHEV SURCHARGE on registration with the logic that they're losing out on gasoline taxes.
So this $130 presumes 13k miles of driving each year (assuming 40mpg). Our neighbors have a Bolt which I am sure they do not drive close to that much, which means they pay a high highway tax than an ICE vehicle.Here in North Carolina they have a $130 annual surcharge for full electric vehicles. PHEV's don't get punished since they also can burn gasoline.
