Iowa Registration is based on List Price, EV's included unless owned before 1-1-2014 then $15/year, 1% for the first 7 years, down to .75% next 2 years, then .5% year 10-11 then $50. Plus a weight penalty of $.40 per hundred lbs.
So a $80,000 tesla would already be $824 annual registration. The State would have also collected around $5300 at the initial sale. No state EV incentives. Odd thing is both of my Rogues have the same MSRP.
Don't forget about the $0.184/gallon in federal gas tax.
