Arkansas already charges an extra $200 annual registration fee for electric vehicles.

That's usually the case, as electric vehicles don't pay taxes on gas which is used for roads. Basically a system to make people who drive pay for the roads (and people who drive more will pay more as well).

If you're not paying for it, it's not yours.
