It'd be reasonable to consider the sales tax on electricity in this


discussion. It's a tax you are paying to the state to fuel your vehicle. That said, many states exempt utilities from sales taxes, but Illinois is not one of those states.

So for Illinois, a residential customer is paying .0033 per kWh. A Nissan Leaf goes 100 miles with 34 kWh. So to go 100 miles, you are paying 11 cents. In a gasoline car, you'd pay for ~3 gallons and pay IL 60 cents.

So over the course of a year of 15k miles, that's $90 vs $16.5. That number is using probably the high end of both cars efficiency rates; even if you were to try harder to be accurate, that's quite a bit lower than the proposed $1000 fee.
