Thanks. I forgot about the new hybrid/BEV/alternative fuel vehicle tax.If you live in an RTA area the tabs are going to be more like $750-$800 per year. There is also a yearly fee for electric cars to make up for lost gas tax revenue in there.
Part of me thinks it is ok (we are using a service, i.e. roads, and should pay for it. Ideally it would be based on #of miles driven but I understand the difficulties in doing that). The other part of me doesn't like that we are also providing a benefit (less pollution) and don't get recognized for it. Gets into that the cost of gasoline doesn't reflect the real cost/externalities like pollution. But this is way off topic of this thread.
