We'll see what happens. Like in Michigan and most others, this model legislation only applies to hybrid vehicles with 4KwH batteries and larger. So, instead of generating the promised $8M, it will net about $500K in WI. If/when the WI public finds out about that, maybe they will have a different opinion about the intelligence of their Republican legislators. As far as I know, only Idaho attempted to impose a special tax on gas-only hybrids. There is currently a call for repeal by legislators that would not be considered liberals. We can only hope that the whole thing will be tossed (eventually).
