The Texas House passed the bill 145-0 on Thursday, and it’s been sent on to Gov.
Greg Abbott for signing.
The bill calls for EV owners to pay an annual $200 registration and renewal fee for their vehicles.
At time of purchase, the fee would be $400.
“This cost adjustment equalizes road use consumption between electric vehicles and gas-powered vehicles.”
If signed, the bill would go into effect Sept. 1.
Abbott’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
