Hybrid fee (tax) in your state? [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

[brnpttmn]

I am not advocatng for a mileage driven tax.

I was just making an example of taxing on mileage is similar to taxing for schools based on number of children in household.

Neither one is fair.

And I was saying it's not at all like that.

Ok then.
Reread your post went completely over my head.

When my family was growing up there was no way they were attending same schools or live in neighborhood we grew up in. Only option was to move 50 miles away.
Of course at that point fuel efficient meant you walked or rode a bike. Plus gas was .30 a gallon. Times change.

Wow, so in Ohio using my current and soon to be new car— a hybrid (37mpg Maverick) and gas (29mpg Mazda6) that drives 15k miles annually…..hybrid pays $60 more in gas taxes/reg fees than the gas counterpart. What the F*** sense does that make?!

It makes no sense except more money for the state. BTW, it’s not $60 more, it’s a flat fee of $100. I know because I have had to pay the extra for the last two years.

Yes it’s $100 flat fee. I just laid out calculations for my personal situation without showing all the work. At 15k miles I’d use ~110 more gallons of gas in my current Mazda6. Multiplied by $0.385/gal gas tax and that’s about $40; meaning by using less gallons with the Maverick but paying a $100 annual fee, I’m out an extra $60 for absolutely no logical reason.

Ohio is completely controlled by the republican party in Columbus for many years now. Last year they passed big increase on gas tax, $100/yr hybrid registration tax and $200/yr on PHEVs and EVs. So your comment doesn't hold water.

Primaries my man

No EV Tax in Texas. I would not have a problem with one as long as its a fair tax, like $100 full EV $50 hybrid/plug in. We need to maintain the road some how and I feel a flat tax would be better than most other ideas I have seen.

Sorry to report, they tried this year. It was defeated on a technicality

This is crazy. I didn't know they charge more to drive hybrids and EVs. So they're penalizing people helping the environment. Not sure if any wisconsinites replied. I'm not sure if Wisconsin has that tax.

In MI... Note that as of Jan 1, 2023, state gas tax went up to 28.6¢/gal. This means that the additional charge listed below is based on 9.6¢.

Looks like WI is $75 for Hybrid, $100 for electric.

"A wheel tax is a fee applied at the time of vehicle registration collected to aid in the maintenance and upkeep of local roads. Usually, areas with a large number of commuters or tourists have wheel taxes as there is a high volume of visitors using the area's roads without paying taxes to the community."

they started this in 1987 where i live in TN.

Hello,
In Washington state, we are charged $75.00 a year for driving a hybrid. We have to pay this fee in order to get our license tags. Do you have to pay a fee in your state? If you do, how much?

Wisconsin is a extra $100 on plates per year!
