EV owners in Texas face $200 annual fee under a proposed bill

In Texas, The Dallas Morning News reported that electric vehicle owners might have to pay $200 annual fees under a bill the Texas House recently sent to Governor Greg Abbott. The bill’s authors said the higher vehicle-registration fees are needed to make EVs pay their fair share of highway costs, according to the report. The report added that Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Robert Nichols, its author, has pushed for higher registration fees for Evs for at least three sessions. Nichols noted that noted that motor fuels taxes, which EVs don’t pay, paid for a significant portion of the state road system.
