Yes, we did it!  Thanks for all everyone who signed the petition.
Chicago Trib and ElecTrek is saying $248, but I see $300 in the amendment to the bill

EV tax would be $248. It turns out the bill also hikes the registration fee to $148 for all vehicles, but to $248 for EVs specifically. So the “EV Tax” is $100, not $248

Still disappointed they couldn't wait until EV are a bigger percentage but much better then the 1000!
