Bill > SB0593

This bill modifies vehicle registration fees for electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Michigan. Specifically, the bill increases registration fees for electric vehicles (EVs) by $100 for vehicles weighing 8,000 pounds or less and $200 for vehicles over 8,000 pounds. For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the registration fee increases by $30 for vehicles weighing 8,000 pounds or less and $100 for vehicles over 8,000 pounds. Additionally, the bill introduces a new mechanism that ties these fees to changes in gasoline tax rates. If the gasoline tax increases above 19 cents per gallon, the registration fees will increase further: for plug-in hybrid vehicles, $0.94 for each cent above 19 cents, and for electric vehicles, $1.88 for each cent above 19 cents. The bill defines electric vehicles as those propelled solely by electrical energy and not capable of using other fuels, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are defined as vehicles that can use both battery power and another fuel like gasoline or diesel. These changes are part of a broader effort to adjust vehicle registration fees to account for the growing number of alternative fuel vehicles on the road.
