 They don't have to justify it. They don't have to explain it. If you are a sucker who paid $50,000 to $100,000 for an electric vehicle, they're coming after you too. In addition to your registration, you're going to have to pay a surcharge or a fee. None dare call it a tax of $250. If you're driving a hybrid, I think it's like $100 or $200. But you've got to pay. Why? Well, because we're not getting any gas tax from you.
