Wisconsin Republicans are moving to increase registration fees for electric vehicles. The transportation funding plan passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature's finance committee on Tuesday would raise fees to $175 a year, up from $100. Registering an electric vehicle in Wisconsin is already more expensive than registering a gas vehicle or hybrid, which cost $85 and $75 a year respectively. Democrats on the finance committee worry that the increase will discourage people from buying electric vehicles. Republicans pointed to the additional $3.3 million the higher fees are projected to bring in over the next two years.
