Beginning this month, hybrid-vehicle owners in Washington state will start paying an annual $75 car-tab fee to finance electric-car charging stations they’ll never use.
The little-known increase is labeled “Hybrid Vehicle Transportation Electrification” on bills from the state Department of Licensing (DOL).
“I was totally baffled,” said Brian Cook, of Shelton, Mason County, who received a vehicle-registration renewal notice last week to get his October 2020 tabs for his 2010 Toyota Prius. “It’s just another add-on, especially if you’re retired. You are on a budget, and if $75 is taken out of your budget, you have to work around it.”
