> On top of removing the tax credit, the bill introduces a $250 annual fee for electric vehicles and a $100 fee for hybrids, which they claim is to fund road repairs traditionally supported by gas taxes. That's clearly a lie. If the motivation was for EVs to pay their share of road funding the fee would be quite a bit less than $250. The federal gas tax is $0.184/gallon. The EV is equivalent to the gas tax on just under 1860 gallons. For the average ICE driver they would need to be driving over 35k miles a year to use that much. That's 2.6x what the average ICE driver does per year. And it will get worse over time because they have indexed the EV fee to inflation. The gas tax is not indexed and has not been updated since 1993. If this really was about just fairly sharing road maintenance they would have either: 1. set the EV tax to around $90 and either started indexing the gas tax too or made the EV tax non-indexed, or 2. raised the gas tax to $0.41/gal (where it would be now had it been index starting in 1993) and indexed going forward, and set the EV to that times the amount of gas an average ICE would use driving the average amount people in the US drive per year, which comes out this year to around $210.
