even if all of them were, its unlikely many would want to get them sadly. at least in the current state of things
Especially considering the current congress bipartisan support for an eventual 150$ annual registration fee tacked onto the yearly registration costs as an apparent attempt to combat the lack of the fuel tax.
Or at least thats what it’s being claimed it’s for. I personally see it to be a dissuasion tactic from EV’s as if you compare it to the standard fuel tax which is 18¢ per gallon so you would need an insane amount of miles in order to break even with a standard ICE vehicle. (a little more than 722 gallons of fuel to save anyone some math. If you would like to see it with your vehicle you can take your average MPG and times it by 722.22 and you would get how many miles at the theoretical max it would take to break even with this fee. mine is EPA certified at 29 mpg which would be 20,944.44 miles a year to break even)
Being said, at current fuel prices you would need to calculate the savings annually you would make per charge vs the same mileage on fill up, then remember to add 130$ to it. Since gas price has gone up a bit it could be, but I lack the numbers to really be able to calculate that.
