 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.  Electric vehicles pay an additional $220 on top of the new DMV rates for a 2 year registration.

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.  Check more at www.MyOReGO.org/calculator
