Some moron near Tampa came up with this ridiculous garbage. Electrics already pay taxes on the electricity they use. Superchargers cost more than gas when the price of fuel is under $3/gallon. More drivers don't pay this much gas tax today...why charge us more? Why charge heavy drivers the same rate as light drivers? A quick internet search provided some data showing this is such bullshit. Link to story: Should electric vehicles have yearly registration fees?
