The $200 is a user fee and is meant to replace the income lost from the state taxes on gasoline.

I didn't need to read the article to know what the fee was for. I have an EV and fully expect NY to do the same.

Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas

Fueling a regular friend-150 and charging a Lightning might cost the same, but fueling entry and midlevel cars still costs less than plugging them in.

Electric Bus Company Backed Heavily by Biden Administration Files for Bankruptcy

Proterra, an electric bus company that received heavy backing from President Joe Biden’s administration, filed for bankruptcy on Monday.

www.breitbart.com

Proterra was founded in 2004 and, according to Canary Media, had raised “about $682 million in venture capital from investors including Daimler, Generation Investment Management, Kleiner Perkins, Tao Capital Partners, Soros Fund Management, Cowen Sustainable Advisors and GM Ventures to build electric buses that gained a foothold in early North American deployments.”


Biden has heavily promoted Proterra throughout his presidency, at one point saying the company would help America own “the future” if it kept on track.

Jennifer Granholm Under Fire for Promoting Proterra, an Electric Vehicle Company She Served on the Board of and Held Stock in

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is the subject of an ethics complaint for promoting a Burlingame, California-based electric bus company of which she sat on the board and held 240,520 shares of stock which garnered her $1.6 million when she finally divested them 157 days after her nomination.
