Is your state placing taxes on EV?

Say NO to Extra EV Taxes in Arizona!

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer big benefits to Arizona, from savings on fuel and maintenance for EV drivers, to cleaner air and improved health for all Arizonans.

Just when the state is attracting new investment and jobs into the state with EV manufacturing from Lucid Motors and Nikola, legislators are trying to slow down this momentum by putting a new tax on EV drivers.

Bills SB1108 and HB2437 both raise taxes on EV owners when the vehicle is registered, far beyond what a dirty gas car driver currently pays for registration. EV drivers in Arizona already pay local electricity taxes and plug-in hybrid EV drivers already pay gas taxes. Arizona legislators should simply not impose any additional tax.

Make your voice heard and say NO to EV taxes!

Seems fair to me to charge EVs more for licensing since no money is collected from gas for road tax. Users of the roads should pay for the roads.

What I don't understand is subsidizing people for buying expensive luxury cars just because they are EVs.

@Harry Parker TAX CREDITS ARE NOT "FUNDED" - they are, simply, taxes NOT collected. Rebates are actual cash given back from existing funds - not from promises of eventual possible savings in other areas of the economy. My electrical utility gave me a rebate when I purchased a high-efficiency central AC system because they know exactly how much my using it will save them in generation costs, not because my using less electricity will improve the respiratory health of people who live near fossil-fuel generation sites leading to the need for less medical care over the coming decades.
