Congress is weighing a proposal to introduce a $130 annual fee for electric vehicle owners as part of broader discussions on transportation policy. The measure aims to generate revenue while addressing concerns over the growing adoption of EVs and their impact on infrastructure costs. Lawmakers are debating whether such a fee would be fair to consumers or could discourage the shift away from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Supporters argue it could help fund maintenance and upgrades needed to support the expanding EV market.
