California has an EV-specific registration fee. It started at $100/year, is now $200, and will be $274 starting in 2028.

I don't have data on what fraction of CA's gas & related taxes go to actually building and maintaining roads. (CA does divert money from the transportation fund, which is funded by one of the gas taxes, to "not road" transportation and road stuff for "not cars/trucks.")



Texas does something similar with EV registration fees. The first time fee is $400 and then it’s $200 a year after that.


It's $7.3k USD for 100k miles in NZ... Same as 3.5 tonne diesel truck.
