U.S. House lawmakers have unveiled a bipartisan transportation bill that proposes an annual fee of $130 for electric vehicle (EV) owners. This fee aims to help fund road repairs as EV drivers currently benefit from road usage without contributing to the gas tax. The proposed legislation has sparked debates, with supporters arguing that it ensures fairness, while opponents claim it could deter potential EV buyers. The bill is part of a broader $580 billion surface transportation initiative, which also includes provisions for infrastructure improvements and the regulation of autonomous vehicles.
