US House Transport Committee Head Wants to Collect EV Fees For Highway Repairs

Sam Graves, however, wants owners of electric cars in the United States to contribute towards road repairs through the imposition of new fees, as they do not pay taxes on the highways since they do not use gasoline. This has been proposed as part of a new bill, which is expected to be around $500 to $550 billion, and ideas have been floated about a fee being charged on owners of such cars every year. It has been proposed that it will be difficult to reach an agreement on the issue as elections are around the corner.
