Car Registration Ripoff

I just paid my auto registration for next year. I purchased my car on December 20, 2016, so the car is almost four years old. Unfortunately, the auto registration fee in California for my car has not gone down year-over-year, though I’m certain I’ve lost more then 50% of the car’s value due to depreciation.

In 2019, I believe the California legislature added $100 to the renewal fees for electric cars so I’m paying almost the same fees in year 5 as when I bought the car. Even with such high registration fees, our DMV and road conditions still suck.
