A bipartisan bill introduced in the House would require owners of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to pay an annual fee of $130 for road maintenance. The proposal is aimed at addressing funding differences between drivers who pay motor fuel taxes and those who do not, since electric vehicles generally do not consume gasoline and therefore do not contribute through traditional gas tax revenues. The bill would apply to EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles, reflecting the way both types of vehicles can reduce or eliminate gasoline use. Supporters argue the fee would help cover the costs of repairing and maintaining public roads while keeping transportation funding more consistent across different vehicle types. The reporting also notes that the effort comes as lawmakers consider how to fund transportation infrastructure in response to changing vehicle technology and fuel consumption patterns. Details on implementation and enforcement are not fully described in the provided coverage, but the core element across both reports is the same: a $130 yearly charge for certain non-gas-powered vehicle owners to help fund road repairs.
