Many states charge $200 annually, including right here in TX (Alabama, Arkansas, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wyoming).

Minnesota will indeed drop the fee to $100 next year, when they start charging $0.05/kWh for public DCFC. That's a bit "more fair" being based on usage.

Wyoming had it for $200 but has since changed it to $100 which is fair at least for my driving.

I will just leave this here: “Montana LLC”

I haven’t done but am thinking about it.
It is really hard for purchase. Tesla and others make it a hoop jumper for any state that doesn't charge sales tax.

We don't do the LLC as we have a home there. Yet if that home is not matching the DL it makes it a pain. Still doable, but Tesla likes supporting docs. Tesla doesn't have a SC in MT. So it's the other states delivery centers want to make sure they aren't giving tax free cars away. They get audited by the state.

Also make sure the county in Montana doesn't charge the option tax for registration. Register in the wrong county and all the savings goes bye-bye. That's all the help ya cheaters get.
