The anti-EV sentiment has been building much longer than BYD becoming the big boy on the block. About 8 months ago my state passed the equivalent of about a $100 per gallon tax on EV charging.

That sounds bad, but how would they know you are using electricity to charge your EV?

It's a DC charger tax.

Mine requires you to pay an extra like thousand dollars when buying your plates as an EV tax, they try to justify by saying they’re missing out on your fuel taxes for the next decade so they want to collect it up front.

Then they go and spend it on hunting down women getting abortions and black kids existing..
