EV Supplemental tax

[chriserx]

Nothing added in La. Yet.

This year, supposed to be $110 per year and prorated to purchase when filing your taxes.

Edit: When they first announced it I think it was supposed to be $200, if the money actually goes toward roadworks I'm actually ok with it, especially $110. I did the math when they were first talking about it, at $200 it worked out to a lil less than state gasoline taxes for the average driver, I consider it pretty fair.

Edit 2: Didn't own an EV until this year but apparently the fee has been in effect since Jan 1, 2023.

Just be glad you don't pay the Vehicle License Tax in AZ. I'll finally be under $1000 to register this coming Feb.

in MA we get a yearly Excise Tax based on the value of your vehicle, for road improvements, and I'm sure that is where it really goes lol Mine will be around $1000 this year for my 2025 Lariat. But my 1970 Olds is only $10

That sounds very much like ours. AZ reduces the amount we owe each year so the older the vehicle the cheaper it is to register. Good think I love this truck. At 10 years it'll be down to $230 and at 20 years it'll only be $40.

Yes that is a hot topic, here is a recent discussion.

Its best to remember how much cheaper "fuel" you get while charging at home ...

I live in Indiana too. It wouldn’t be so bad if they actually spent money improving and maintaining the roads. Indiana has the worst roads in the country and their snow removal is abysmal by comparison. I drove from northern Michigan on Sunday where they had twice as much snow. Drove 75 mph until I hit the Indiana line, then median was littered with vehicles and the speeds dropped to 50ish because of the ice and snow that had not been removed. I don’t mind paying taxes for public goods, but in Indiana the super majority has corrupted the system and the money all goes to cronies through various deals for “economic development.”
