        My state has now joined others in implementing a fine “owner’s fee” for drivers of hybrid and EVs. It’s a naked money grab meant to deter sales of efficient vehicles.

      Right? I have to pay an extra $150/year on a hybrid ($250 if I went EV) in registration fees. I’m “not using enough gas to pay my fair share” of highway taxes.

        It’s completely ridiculous. Congress will eventually have to address the problem. Or we’ll have to acknowledge that we’re ok with killing the planet.
