美国众议院议员提议征收每年130美元的电动汽车费,用于道路维修
A new federal EV registration fee would change ownership costs and revenue streams for road maintenance, affecting fleet economics and infrastructure planning for tech companies. Tech teams working on EV charging, fleet management, and policy compliance need to model impacts on adoption and total cost of ownership.

A bipartisan bill in the U.S. House would impose an annual fee on electric vehicles—$130 per EV and $35 for some plug-in hybrids—to help fund road repairs as part of a five-year highway reauthorization package totaling $580 billion. The proposal recognizes that federal road funding largely comes from gasoline and diesel taxes, which EVs do not pay. The plan also phases in $5 yearly increases starting in 2029, raising EV fees to $150 and plug-in hybrid fees to $50. The bill, authored by Transportation Committee Chair Rep. Sam Graves and top Democrat Rep. Rick Larsen, is expected to be reviewed by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Congressional transportation committee unveiled the BUILD America 250 Act, which would impose a new federal annual registration fee on electric vehicles: $130 starting on enactment and rising $5/year from 2029 until $150; plug-in hybrids would start at $35 and climb to $50. The fee aims to recoup declining road funding as gas-tax revenue falls with greater EV adoption; states that don’t collect the fee risk a 125% cut to their federal highway apportionment. Critics warn the levy could further deter EV uptake and reduce dedicated federal EV charging investments, especially in rural areas, while supporters call it a fair share for road use and bridge funding. The bill also increases bridge investment and reshapes EV charging funding.
Congress’ Transportation and Infrastructure Committee released the BUILD America 250 Act, proposing a federal annual registration fee for electric vehicles: $130 starting in 2026, rising $5/year from 2029 until $150, while plug-in hybrids would start at $35 and rise to $50. The charge aims to recoup lost gas-tax revenue used for road maintenance as EV adoption reduces fuel-tax receipts; states that fail to collect the fee could lose 125% of the owed amount from federal highway funds. Critics say the fee unfairly burdens EV drivers and could undermine charging infrastructure investments, especially in rural areas, at a time when EV adoption is already slipping. Supporters frame it as ensuring EVs pay their share for road use.
Congress is considering a federal proposal to impose an annual fee—reported around $130—on electric vehicle owners to recoup lost gasoline tax revenue used for road upkeep. Lawmakers and transportation officials argue the fee would ensure EV drivers contribute to infrastructure funding, while critics say it undermines decarbonization goals, could slow EV adoption, and disproportionately affects lower-income drivers. The policy debate includes states already testing similar mileage or flat EV fees and touches on alternatives like mileage-based user fees or electric road usage charges. For the tech industry, the outcome affects EV manufacturers, charging infrastructure businesses, and software firms involved in telematics, billing and mileage-tracking systems.
