Electric vehicle fee for registration: Texas: $200 North Carolina: $180 Should DMV’s charge extra for electric vehicles? Before you answer, consider this. EV’s are now 8% of new cars. DMV uses gas tax as the way to fund the highway fund to fix roads. EV’s use the roads but do not pay for maintenance. Revenue across the United States for fixing roads is flat or lower over the past 10 years. Although usage is up. This trend will accelerate, leaving less and less money to fix roads. Is the tax the right size? In Nevada I spend $0.23 a gallon for state only tax. I use about a tank or 20 gallons a week. So around 1000 gallons a year. That would equal $223 in state tax. Pretty close to what they are asking. Let me know your opinion. Maybe there’s a better way? This is coming to your state.

Virginia Will Exit California Electric Vehicle Mandate at End of Year Governor Youngkin last week announced the end of the California electric vehicle mandate in Virginia, effective at the end of 2024 when California’s current regulations expire. An official opinion from Attorney General Jason Miyares in response to a request by the Governor and Senate Republican Leader Ryan McDougle confirms that Virginia is not required to comply with expansive new mandates adopted by the unelected California Air Resources Board (CARB) set to take effect January 1, 2025.? Under Advanced Clean Cars II, beginning in Model Year 2026, 35% of the new cars sold would have been required to be electric vehicles, moving up to 100% in 2035. If an auto manufacturer sells a standard automobile out of compliance with California’s mandate, they may be required to pay a fine upwards of $20,000 per vehicle sold. Given that EVs only?amounted?to 9% of vehicles sold in Virginia in 2023, application of the misguided mandates could have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties. Virginia auto consumers and dealers could be forced to bear these costs. Not only would this leave auto dealers with less money to pay staff, offer raises, and grow their businesses, it could force many small auto dealers to permanently close their doors.
