MICHIGAN (AP) - Michigan's electric vehicle owners are facing a significant increase in registration fees, making them the highest in the nation. The change is part of a road funding package passed last fall, which critics say unfairly targets EV drivers. Proponents argue it ensures EV owners contribute to road maintenance. The fees for light-duty EVs are rising from $160 to $267, and for plug-in hybrids from $60 to $113. Efforts to reverse the fee hike are unlikely to succeed. The increase is part of a broader plan to generate more road funding, but some argue it’s still not enough to fix Michigan’s poorly maintained roads.
