Over Half Of American States Charge EV Owners Extra to Register Their Vehicle
As electric vehicles get to skip the pump, some states are doing what they can to recapture that lost revenue. Across the nation, at least 32 different states charge EV owners additional fees for registering their vehicles.
Some states are matching their EV registration fees to the consumer price index or another inflation-related metric. Those states are California, Mississippi, Utah, Michigan, and Indiana though others could follow their lead.
A number of states are considering a different system altogether that charges drivers based on miles traveled. They aim to more closely link transportation taxes to those who use the roads most.
Results of 6-Month Poll Provide Robust Insight into Today’s Fleet Industry
By Richard Mallek, Business Development Manager, FLD Remarketing
Challenges now facing the fleet industry seem so persistent that FLD Remarketing started wondering: Just how is all of this disruption affecting fleet?
And, exactly which of these challenges are causing the most problems for our industry?
From questions about gas prices and inflation, to queries about supply chains, raw materials and shortages, the poll provided a snapshot of industry sentiment during one of the most critical and unpredictable periods in fleet’s history.
While it would likely take a crystal ball to predict where the industry will be in a year, we believe the fleet poll – and the valuable insights we received – can go a long way towards helping our customers both better plan – and prepare – for what’s ahead.

Sweden is Building the World’s First Permanent Electric Road That Charges Moving EVs
Sweden is building the world’s first permanent electric road that will charge EVs while they’re on the move. The country has already piloted four temporary electrified roads, but this 21 km (13-mile) stretch of road is going to be permanent.
The electrified road is being built by Swedish transport administration Trafikverket. Design and construction are expected to complete in 2025. Trafikverket is considering such options as overhead power lines (ie, how trams operate); ground-level electric rails in the road that transmit energy to the EV through a conductive pickup beneath the vehicle, or road-embedded inductive coils that transfers power to the vehicles.
