House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Wants to Tax EVs For Road Repairs

The chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee wants to collect funds ?from electric vehicles to help pay for U.S. highway repairs ‌as part of a surface transportation bill.

Representative Sam Graves, a Republican, said he plans to take up a multi-year bill in early April. Last year, House Republicans ?proposed a new $250 annual fee on EVs and $100 for hybrid EVs ?but it was not included in a massive tax and ?spending bill. The current five-year surface transportation law expires on September ?30.
