Stu Janis Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I just got my Wisconsin license plate renewal notice and saw a new item - a hybrid tax for $75. Upon further investigation, I discovered that it's applied to hybrid vehicles with battery capacity not less than 4 kWh, to make up for loss of gas tax revenues. I've never had to pay that tax before despite owning the 2017 Prius since early 2017, so I was wondering what the capacity of the battery is. Does anyone know?

Dougster01 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Stu, South Carolina is punishing Hybrid and Electric car users in a similar manner. Shame on those car owner's for trying to conserve oil/gas. That will teach them! 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
