Indiana will have a lot more places for electric vehicles to charge up in the coming years — both from federal efforts like the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program and the state's settlement with Volkswagen. Advocates hope this will encourage more Hoosiers to buy electric cars.

But if that's the goal, then why does Indiana impose a special fee on electric car owners? A member of our audience wanted to know.

The answer has to do with the way Indiana funds its roads — mainly through gasoline taxes. Because electric vehicles don’t use gas, Indiana imposes an annual registration fee on electric car owners. Starting in July, that fee will be more than $200.
