So, do DIY B99 (biofuel) users also have to pay an annual $100 penalty for trying to do their bit to ween the US off oil?

I seriously doubt (by a factor of 10 if not 100) that the cost of implementing this ridiculous tax at this stage in the development of EVs is more than the money collected. I agree that EVs should pay their bit for maintaining the roads and $100 is not a high price to pay but it does seem daft that the G'ment is paying relatively high incentives to EV buyers on the one hand and then taking them back on the other particularly when most of the incentives are tax breaks in the first place! What a total nonsense.

I can only assume the twits who came up with this idea are politically motivated against EVs - i.e. Big Oil supporters.
