The Idaho charges aren't QUITE as bad as they look ($100 hybrid and $150 EV).  
Due to a shortfall in road maintenance revenue, they passed a law this year 
charging an additional levy when vehicle license is renewed.  Normal vehicles 
also get an extra tax, but less than above.  I believe the non hybrid vehicle 
fee is about $40.
