Still it makes the EV about $550/year higher than the average car but they also give you $4000 when you buy it in the first place. So you get 8 years no extra cost and then $550 more per year after.

1. See my math: $1000 EV registration - $149 ICE registration = $851 more for the EV
2. Illinois has a 6.25% sales tax on gas. What is the tax on electricity?
3. Where are you getting the $4,000 from. I don't see any Illinois EV tax credit.
