Municipal substation taxes are charged on every kWhr nationwide by the utility and gets silently passed on to rate payers as a part of the price per kwhr .
It is generally higher than gas tax and in some areas like Rhode Island account for $50/month of the utility bill.
I would argue these EV/Hybrid fines are simply unnecessary and also violate equal protection laws.
Sadly even when it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt nobody will take up the case against city hall, only Oklahoma had their overturned by the Sierra Club, you would need to find a bored elderly lawyer or a charity to take up a case like this.
