People might still enjoy them as a second car but if it costs to much in taxes and insurance why put up with the bother of it?

Wisconsin adding a $100 fee to register an EV doesn't make used EVs obsolete. A 2012 Nissan Leaf still plugs into a Level 2 charger and charges

Nissan's original battery is warrantied for 8 years / 100K miles. The replacement is also warrantied for 8 years / 100K miles. So the question is: Will someone pay $1125 a year to keep driving their Leaf? Batteries are basically like prebuying fuel.
