Nova Scotia’s new EV fee raises bigger questions for drivers across Canada | Globalnews.ca
Nova Scotia has become the latest province to start charging an extra fee for battery-powered cars and trucks.
As of Thursday, electric vehicle (EV) owners will pay $500 every two years in addition to their vehicle registration fee. Plug-in hybrid vehicles will have an additional $250 fee.
Some drivers call it an unfair cash grab, but the provincial government argues it’s a way to pay for road repairs since EV drivers don’t pay the provincial gas tax.
