The House of Representatives passed President Trump’s budget bill, which includes a controversial provision for annual registration fees on EVs and hybrids.
The bill includes a $100 hybrid registration fee and a $250 EV registration fee to generate revenue for the Highway Trust Fund.
The Highway Trust Fund, reliant on gas and diesel taxes, has seen declining revenues due to the growing popularity of EVs and electrified vehicles.
The budget bill's future in the Senate is uncertain, with concerns raised over its impacts, including cuts to Medicaid and food security programs.
