So I've been thrilled with my new 2025 Maverick Hybrid. It is comfortable for me and I've been able to do everything I've wanted to do. The fuel economy is like nothing I've ever seen. I fear my joy could be short-lived. I recieved a postcard today from Delaware DMV indicating that my hybrid will be subject to an alternative Fuels Tax. Has anyone else been subjected to this tax?

Fairly sure many other states do the same or plan to from what I've read. Their all trying to get as much $ as they can for road use/maintenance since the popularity of the EV & hybrid vehicles they say they are are lacking funds since the tax model they use comes from the taxes on gasoline. I wouldn't worry, don't imagine it will be very expensive. I would predict you will still be better off from the normal gas expenses.
