This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

Only $130? Ohio has been taxing EVs (and PHEVs that still use gas!) $200/year for 5 or so years now.

Ohio is still part of the United States, so they'll still pay the state tax and then would add this new federal tax on top of that, too.
