I'm not saying IL is managing funds properly, or that $1000 registration fees for an EV is reasonable. All I'm saying is that EVs tend to pay less than other vehicles for infrastructure. Why IL has an infrastructure funding crisis is beyond me. Oregon registration is something like $90 for 2 years. Gasoline tax in IL was 19 cents per gallon compared to Oregon's 34 cents. It's now being raised to 38 cents.

Perhaps they should have raised it a long time ago?
