Georgia residents who own electric vehicles may soon face an unexpected expense as lawmakers propose a new fee to help fund road repairs. Under the proposed legislation, owners of electric vehicles would be required to pay a yearly fee of $130 to support the state's transportation infrastructure. The move is aimed at addressing the issue of wear and tear on roads caused by the increased weight of EVs, which can be up to 50% heavier than their gas-powered counterparts. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, the proposal raises questions about the financial implications for EV owners and the future of transportation in the state.
