Summary –
Currently fully electric vehicles, other alternative fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrids and regular hybrids pay an additional $75 a year as a transportation electrification fee, which goes to supporting the adoption of electric vehicles until July 1, 2025. (After that, the money will go to the regular motor vehicle account.) The bill would eliminate the fee for regular hybrids.
