Florida Bill Raising Fees on EVs

What is happening? Florida is raising fees on EVs if it passes Senate Bill 140 (2021 | FL) The annual fee on an average EV would be $135.

Why is this important? As EVs and hybrids rise, and gas prices stay low, state gas tax revenues will be in decline. Fees on vehicles that don’t pay gas taxes will that void.

How will this be important? EV sales are projected to only increase, thereby exacerbating issues with the gas tax not keeping up with the times.
