"My wife is a title clerk at a car dealership here in Michigan. She informed me that there is a hefty up charge on the plate for a new electric car beyond the cost of a normal car plate. An extra charge is also added for a plate renewal on electric cars."

Was at the good ol Windward Passage and this lady was complaining about the extra $100.00 dollars they charged her for her plate renewal on her hybrid electric car.

I was trying to tell her that is a low number as it will have to go up as they lose gas tax revenue.
She did not really listen but she will most likely be dead before the s%^t hits the fan.

Wonder if the full electric cars pay more.
They are just winging it for now but once the real numbers come in they will have to get more serious about the taxes on these cars, that and they are trying to woo you into buying an electric car by not showing you any of the draw backs.

In the Iowa caucus the new app that was to help with counting the votes totally messed that up, in New Hampshire they did it the old way with pencils and they got it right.
See the new high tech ways are not always the best, an electric problem is one of the hardest things to fix on your car.

Glad I will be dead before they force us into mostly electric cars.
