Great idea just make it really expensive because those fools will pay it. Don’t go cheap on saving the planet

This feels like a “let’s just do it and see if we can get away with it” tax.
And guess what, the dumb people of CA will vote these same asshats back into office over and over again.
Said it a million times, the worst part about California is the Californians.

MS as well. They add a hybrid fee to my car tag each year due to less gas tax revenue with the higher gas mileage.

At this point, just send them your entire check and let them give you an allowance.

Alabama does also.
I believe the current fee is $203 additional per year for a battery electric vehicle, which increases in 2027 and every four years thereafter.

Are they really voting them in or is the cheating that pervasive?

That’s different than the OP. It’s to replace gas taxes for road maintenance.
Not saying it’s justified.

Yep, good ol small government conservative Louisiana! Beating California to a new tax! That’s impressive.

It isn't a replacement for gas tax. It is a replacement for lost SMOG inspection revenue.
This then makes me ask;
Did they really institute SMOG inspections to help the environment or was it just revenue generation all along?
I think we know the answer

So it was a scam all along? Who knew?
I think I spent into the few thousands buying service and parts for cars that wouldn't pass inspection in metro counties in Georgia just to get the damn OBD indicator to turn off (didn't help with any smog bs whatsoever)

Trying to decide which one is less shocking, the loss of revenue or the new fee?

California is still great. You just have to pay to live here. I wouldn’t trade this weather for better politics.
