As a result of more electric cars on the road and less fuel tax revenue, some states and municipalities are trying to find creative ways to get their taxes. How they plan to do this is by taxing the EV driver. A bill in New Jersey is being sponsored that will charge EVs a fee of 0.00839 cents per mile. For the average EV being driven about 12,000 miles per year, that comes out to $100.68 in tax. Read the article here to learn more of the details.
Personally, I find it ridiculous to tax EV drivers who pay a premium to own electric and who's vehicles make far less impact on the environment.
