Electric vehicles (EVs) have been touted as the future of the automotive industry, but a growing concern in the US is that the country's heavy reliance on fossil fuels is being replaced by a new problem: its heavy dependence on battery-powered cars.

A new proposal could see drivers paying more to own an EV, with the aim of making the technology more financially viable and reducing the burden on taxpayers who currently foot the bill for many of these incentives. But will the increased costs deter consumers from making the switch to electric, or will the benefits of EVs outweigh the costs?
