[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So buying an eco friendly car such as an electric or hybrid car, we pay more on HUF.  This is a scam !!!!!   Maybe Virginia should explain????   Everything to improve the environment is now very expensive;  our current system is totally useless inadequate and full of lies to the consumers…. [/quote]

Any vehicle that is rated for 25mpg or better pays some amount of a fee. It’s not just EVs and hybrids.

We drive our EV and PHEV each about 6k miles a year so we signed up for the Mileage Choice program. We don’t mind paying our fair share to replace lost revenue, but the fee was many times more than we would otherwise pay in state gas taxes driving an ICE vehicle. This at least let’s us pay a lower rate based on miles driven. [/quote]

My issue with Mileage Choice is that you’re charged for driving on roads out of state. So if you have a hybrid and fill up in Maryland, you pay taxes to Md for use of their roads while also paying taxes to Virginia for the miles driven in Md with that gas. So you’re effectively taxed twice. [/quote]
