[Caevlist] New Oregon registration fees for EVs

[Craig Hudson]

It was bound to happen.... Oregon legislature approved EVs paying a "gas
tax" thru their registration fees starting Jan 2020.   Checkout top of page
15 in HB2017
<https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2017R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2017/Enrolled>.
Electric vehicles pay an additional $220 on top of the new DMV rates for a
2 year registration.

*High-mileage passenger vehicles*

Fuel economy                         Four years   Two years
40+ mpg NOT in OReGO           $304          $152
40+ mpg enrolled in OReGO    $172           $86
Electric NOT in OReGO             $612           $306
Electric enrolled in OReGO      $172            $86
If you drive less than 6100 mi/yr ($110/0.018) and can install an OBD-II
reader to let ODOT track your mileage, then OReGO will save you money.
