This $75/year fee represents more than I pay for energy on my electric vehicle in any given year, and I, like most EV owners, charge my vehicle at home on equipment I paid hundreds of dollars for.\n\nThis is on top of the already ridiculously-high $150/year fee that is meant to offset the missing fuel tax, which already is for more than the total amount of fuel I would have bought in any given year.\n\nI only drive around 1000 miles per year. I am disabled and on a limited income. I bought an older, used electric vehicle somewhat to reduce my already-low transportation costs but mostly to be better to the environment based on how little I drive to begin with, as the environmental impact of the oil changes that I no longer need was pretty significant, especially compared to how little I was driving.\n\nThis $225 total in fees means I am paying vastly more than my fair share compared to drivers of internal-combustion vehicles, and am being actively punished for making the right choice in terms of harm reduction on the environment.\n\nI am also already paying more for the infrastructure offsets actually taken by my (again, seldom-driven) electric vehicle in the form of the two \u201cadditional vehicle weight\u201d fees, which total $35 (split up into $10 and $25 for some reason).\n\nA much more equitable approach would be to assess a much smaller fee across drivers of all vehicles, regardless of fuel type, which would actually encourage EV adoption, and would also generate more revenue for the state.\n\nI urge you to please re-evaluate these regressive fees and to consider a more equitable means of offsetting infrastructure costs.",
