CHARLOTTE — A new proposal in the federal budget reconciliation bill is calling for yearly fees on electric vehicles.
The “one big beautiful bill” would impose a $100 annual fee on hybrid vehicles and a $250 fee on EVs, according to the House bill.
Supporters say the fees are needed to supplement the Highway Trust Fund which is funded by the gas tax.
Opponents propose a tax on actual miles driven as a fairer alternative.
The same bill would also phase out the $7,500 federal EV tax credit after next year.
