What county?
Mine was $1600 in La Plata country. Colorado is highway robbery due to DOT fees. I’m at 1 year in September for registration and it’s getting Utah plates which should save me a bundle. I only did Colorado the first year because they only charged 2.9% sales tax as opposed to Grand County Utah’s 6.85%.

Texas has a registration surcharge for BEV at $200. It just started this year. They want to make up for the missing gas tax. I don’t drive that much so this is high cost for me. No credits for keeping air clean!

Hmmm, I am wondering what the origin is for the county name "La Plata" county....maybe a loose translation for "License Plate" county? :unsure:

In GA, depending on what kind of license plate you want it can range from $25 to $200+. Now, that’s reasonable.
I have just regular Ga tags on both MX and CT, cost is $220 per EV. Road tax is $200 and the registration is $20.

It helps to pay for your sanctuary cities and illegals. You don’t have that in Florida and Texas.
You too...stop being political, this is not relevant to how taxes are assessed.

Wyoming was 1800 for me as well. Plus the 200 EV tax, which mile for mile is WAY more than gas taxes on a normal gas vehicle for average yearly miles.

Ironically that 200 extra WAS tacked on by republicans to "stick it to the hippies" that drive EV's in their minds.

That is nothing but criminal. I am so angered by this and it’s not even me going through this. What bullsh!t.
How do ya figure? Roads and tangential services need to be paid for somehow. Would you rather have dirt roads maintained by locals at their own whim instead?

Yeah all states have some waste, but it's not NEARLY what people think it is.

Taxes are VERY important, yeah the rich should pay far more, but ALL of us should be proud to pay our little part in keeping our infrastructure from rotting away. More than it already is of course, since we are all pansy little b*tches that can't stomach the social need for these things.

My initial payment with taxes and registration in Wyoming was just over 10k.
You have to be talking about your first loan payment. Your registration (for your license plates) alone was not that much.

The excise tax mil rate for the 2nd year in Maine is 0.0135, so I expect I'll be paying $1110.

Yes, Im in Cali and I was shocked just as you are my friend. This is the result of electrification push without normal market adoption.
