You buy tires, you wear tires out. You get new tires and pay a fee for the old ones... same applies to a battery.
You buy a car. You pay a tax plus a registration fee so you can get it licensed. You pay for a license to be able to drive it. You pay an outrageous amount of tax every time you fuel it up. You drive it on the turnpike and get charged to drive on the road you already paid for thru your fuel tax. And every year, you pay another 40 plus for a plastic sticker the size of a stamp so you can proudly display your having paid the renewal tax for something that's already been paid for.
Nothing is free but few taxes are called what they are. A tax!
