A Texas bill passed with unanimous support would impose an annual $200 fine on electric vehicle drivers to compensate the state for lower gas tax revenues.
"Electrical vehicles are a new paradigm shift in the transportation world. They’re a growing part of our system. We recognized some time ago that each time an all-electric vehicle does get on the road and displaces a gasoline or diesel vehicle that the state highway fund loses money," Nichols said.
"So the object here is to try to identify how much money do we lose on both state and federal and try to make that up with a fee adjustment."The EV fee isand consumer protection groups. Consumer Reports called the $200 fee "punitive," telling lawmakers in a letter that it should be closer to $71 based on their analysis of state gas tax revenues from new gas-powered vehicles.
"As EVs continue to grow in popularity and consumers gain interest in accessing cost-effective technology, states need to consider alternative strategies to address the issue of decreasing gas-tax revenues to fund roads and highways," said Dylan Jaff, policy analyst at CR. "Consumers should not be punished for choosing a cleaner, greener car that saves them money on fuel and maintenance.
"The Texas Legislature is pouring sugar in the tank of the electric vehicle revolution. This punitive fee will make it harder for Texans to afford these clean vehicles which are so critical to reducing air pollution in Texas," said Metzger.
