Bill > S1346

This bill creates an additional fee for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It sets the additional fees at $135 for electric vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds and $235 for those weighing 10,000 pounds or more, with the fees increasing to $150 and $250, respectively, on January 1, 2025. The bill also imposes a $35 additional fee for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, increasing to $50 on January 1, 2025. The proceeds from the additional fees will be deposited into the State Transportation Trust Fund and the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant Program. The bill requires the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to increase the fees every 5 years to account for inflation, and exempts low-speed, electric, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with battery storage systems of up to 5 kilowatt hours from the fees. The amendments made by this bill will expire on July 1, 2030.
