I think it is another attempt
I think it is another attempt to kill the electric car. We already are paying a lot more to buy the hybrids, PHEV, and EVs and we pay taxes on that. We should not have to pay a yearly added tax! Unless they want to pay us yearly for reducing air/noise pollution and reducing smog. Are they going to charge gas cars and trucks because they need to make sound barriers. This is really stupid! Wait till these vehicles have a chance to be the mainstream. There are so few, they are not going to make any reasonable amount of money. This is meant to be a penalty on those who want to do the right thing. I would like to know how much these politicians are getting from the oil companies.
