Per PlugInsights, North Carolina has placed a $100 / year tax on EVs to make up for the loss of gas taxes for roads. This affects pure electrics, but not PHEVs like the Volt.
I'm not sure if I object to this or not, but it's definitely too early to be doing this. Why does it seem North Carolina is fighting EVs and (I'll use the word not to be spoken) 'sustainable' practices much more than any other state? They've removed anything sustainable from their print, effectively banning the word, they're fighting to ban Tesla (Ohio is following suit on that one), and now they're adding EV taxes. I understand that we should pay for the roads we drive on, but it's too early and there is too much money going to the oil industry in direct government spending that could be redirected to the roads to be taxing a handful of drivers.
