Earlier this year, Texas state lawmakers passed Senate Bill 505, which requires electric vehicle owners to pay a fee when they register a vehicle or renew their registration.
It’s being imposed because lawmakers said EV drivers weren’t paying their fair share into a fund that helps cover road construction and repairs across Texas.
Gasoline taxes go to the State Highway Fund, which the Texas Department of Transportation calls its “primary funding source.” Electric vehicle drivers don’t pay those taxes, though, because they don’t use gasoline.
The Charging stations is going to charge more as we go further, thus taking the benefits out of the type of car.
Share the road, share the cost.
Just a thought.
