The Trump administration's budget proposal introduces a $250 annual registration fee for electric vehicles and $100 for hybrids to fund road repairs, reversing the trend of exempting EVs from typical taxation. This retroactive fee challenges legal precedents and disproportionately affects lower-income households while pushing against Biden-era climate initiatives. Experts agree EV owners should contribute to road maintenance but warn that this flat fee could hurt those living paycheck-to-paycheck, particularly as it imposes charges based solely on ownership rather than usage.
The proposed $250 annual fee for EVs, created by the Trump administration, is the first of its kind in America, reflecting a departure from traditional tax practices.
This retroactive tax on electric vehicles could unfairly burden early adopters and those with lower incomes, who may already face high costs associated with EV ownership.
