Come January 1st 2024...

EV owners are about to shell out an extra $120 a year in registration fees
While Hybrid owners will be only charged an additional $60

Additional revenue will be going to the KY State Road Fund

Dam, thats a great read and lots of info. From the third paragraph....

"EV advocates claim that the cost of electricity for EV owners is equal to $1.21 per gallon of gasoline (Edison Electric Institute, 2021), but the cost of charging equipment and charging losses, averaged out over 10 years and 120,000 miles, is $1.38 per gallon equivalent on top of that. Adding the costs of the subsidies to the true cost of fueling an EV would equate to an EV owner paying $17.33 per gallon of gasoline. And these estimates do not include the hundreds of billions more in subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act (2022) for various aspects of the EV supply chain, particularly for battery manufacturing. It is not an overstatement to say that the federal government is subsidizing EVs to a greater degree than even wind and solar electricity generation and embarking on an unprecedented endeavor to remake the entire American auto industry."

Time to start learning how to speak Chinese.


Considering many of these vehicles are Chevy Express vans and Grand Caravans for hauling people around, I wonder what they are going to replace those people movers with, unless those aren't considered light-duty.
