I'm not sure. The insurance, fuel, and depreciation on these things already makes them really expensive. In my part of the country, the registration taxes are $60 per year or so, a laughably tiny fraction of the cost of owning a car. Even multiplying them 10x wouldn't make them a major expense compared to the insurance on a pickup truck.

    My insurance actually went down when I replaced my VW golf with an F150 lightning.

    Conversely, my tabs cost 7x more.

    But in CA, the value of the vehicle is very impactful and there's an additional $118 EV tax considered in registration fee calculation.
