Electric Vehicles

Nah, but you get to pay an extra $110 at registration, and I'm assuming every year at renewal time.
...

Yes, the $110 is added on to every year's renewal.

That's still getting off cheaper than an ICE.
Just an estimate of 60k miles per year, averaging 25mpg and paying 19 cents per gallon in tax adds up to $456 per year.

You drive 60,000 miles per year? That seems pretty excessive. I drive a lot compared to most and I would say it's only about 20,000 miles a year.

But let's take some more pedestrian numbers. Let's say a car that gets 30 miles a gallon drives 10,000 miles per year. They'd pay about $60.

Now let's be realistic. No one only drives 800 miles a month. Double it, to start. Then you're right around that $110 that EVs pay.

Ya the average US mileage per year is 14.5k. 60k is crazy.

I used to drive a lot less than that when I lived and worked downtown and went to school up at 23rd and Blackwelder.

My 2020 model Toyota - purchased the day after Thanksgiving 2019, so almost exactly five years old to me - has 29K on it. Less than 500/mo. It was far less until about a year ago…the first couple of years were only like 3K-4K/yr.

I use my vehicle for work and only drive about 1000 miles a month. However, I live 3 miles from the office. My wife only drives around 500 mile a month.

BTW you don’t actually pay 19¢ per gallon in gas tax in Oklahoma, it is closer to 38¢ when you pay federal and the fees. Electric vehicle charging in Oklahoma also has an excise tax of 3¢ per kilowatt hour at public assessable chargers.

[Bill Robertson]

Ok. Ok. I messed up. I don't know what I was thinking when I came up with 60k. I actually drive around 20k. Might have been before coffee. So the difference really isn't that much.
