Wisconsin taxes aren’t on fuel economy
A 30mpg pickup is taxed the same as an 8mpg pickup
A “hybrid” or plug in pickup (if it existed) is exempt from the hybrid or plug in fee increases depending on how its titled, a farm or commercial truck appears to be exempt from the special taxes while a “passenger vehicle” is not.

Both my antique car and truck use about $200 a year of fuel so my “rate” of tax is exponentially higher on the cars.

My old pickup made it 5 years not being charged wheel tax while my antique cars and motorcycle were being charged wheel tax the whole time.

This tax also charges hybrids and plug ins the same high tax fees even though one is very different than the other
