This is more than the average fossil car owner pays in gas taxes, and really bad policy during a world fuel shortage.

What inspection? Nearly everything happens at the state level, if at all. The only ongoing task required from my state is plates/registration, which is just some minor paperwork, a sticker, and a fee. One that's already higher because of EVs. And I only have to do it every 5 years. There are no inspection facilities anywhere near here.

About half the states require a regular inspection including an emissions test
