Washington State:

There is a new car tax discount in the Stimulus Bill so that would include EVs.
The world loves to be deceived.

Government endorses electric car sales - CarBuyersNoteBookTax Incentives.
Electric vehicle infrastructure is exempt from property tax and leasehold excise tax.
The sale of electric vehicles, electric vehicle batteries, or the installation of electric vehicle
infrastructure is exempt from retail sales and use tax.
So is this a federal law that now forces states not to charge sales tax on EVs? If so that would be huge! This seems to be more than just credits / rebates. Or is this a Washington State only thing? The articles I quoted seem to imply it is nationwide.It seems that the United States government is making a push towards the increased sale of electric cars.
...
Well the House of Representatives recently passed a bill that makes it so electric vehicles, electric car batteries, and electric vehicle infrastructure are not subject to state sales tax.
Looks like Washington only.

Electric car bill zooms out of the House
Posted by Chantal Anderson
The state House has taken a step to promote the sales of electric cars by passing a bill that would exempt the vehicles from the state sales tax.
Electric car batteries and electric car infrastructure would be exempt from the sales tax, as well. The bill sponsored by Rep. Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland came out of the House with a 71-23 vote on Monday evening.
Eddy said in an article that ran in The Times on Sunday, "If we expect to ever meet our state greenhouse-gas goals, we will have to tackle transportation."

We were very proud of that. The Seattle EV Association was very active in educatiing our state legislators and getting this bill introduced.Originally Posted by vfx
In Arizona, there is no use tax (sales tax) for EVs and the yearly registration fee is a fraction of the cost for ICEs. There was a proposal to tax miles driven at 1.42 cents per mile to fund roads, but it appears to have died in the state house.
