    A new sedan that weighs 5,700 pounds would carry with it a maximum fee of $6.40. On the higher end, for light trucks or SUVs that weigh up between 8,500 and 9,499 pounds, the new fees would reach nearly $30. Commercial vehicles would be exempt from the measure.

    That’s not as much as I was expecting.

      What sedan weighs almost 6000 lbs? My Elantra weighs almost 3000. Can’t imagine a full-size sedan is double the weight?

        Probably something like my Kia niro. It’s a hatchback/small SUV but it is a battery phev.

          A quick search tells me the Niro PHEV weighs about 3300 pounds. Meantime, my Bolt EUV (similar size BEV) tops out around 3700.
