These taxes have not been strongly opposed so expect more nonsense like this in other states.
There are very few EV owners and there is an active backlash going on,
EV owners for the most part believe they owe additional registration fees for some unknown reason (they don’t because of municipal substation taxes)
so are perfect whipping boys to lay down unnecessary fees without any real political backlash , until someone actively opposes these fines they will continue to become more outlandish.
Sadly some Tesla owners love high registration fees because it makes EVs exclusive, which furthers the false EV owners are all smug rich *******s narrative that the political folks making the fees want to believe.

Any time I see these fees I am reminded about a local legislators comment on a similar tax
“Then hybrids and electric cars will be paying a lot more than they're paying now and that will wipe that smug look off their faces and maybe they'd actually use the pedal for a change.”
The above summarizes what these taxes are actually about
