On the flip side, they then give you a nice $5k refundable income tax credit. Our roads suck, so I have no idea where the money goes.
I was figuring a Model S would be around $1500/year to start.
My tab renewal was Nov 10th and it was $247 for the year which includes an annual $150 EV tab fee. $100 goes to road fund, $50 to EV public infrastructure expansion but the EV tab fee is not billed on purchase. So if I lease every two years, I pay an effective $75 a year!
My fees are actually considerably smaller than King County (Seattle) where they have light rail expansion bills to pay. There is one Telsa owner who paid over $1500 for his renewal!
