[Caevlist] New Oregon registration fees for EVs

[Paul Wallace]

The next time I register my S10, maybe I should switch it back to gasoline :). It took me quite a bit of explaining to get the registration changed to electric in the first place.

What ever happened to universal weight/mile taxes?

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.
