Ohio’s temporary suspension of its gas tax does not extend to electric or hybrid vehicle owners, leaving them without fuel cost relief as the state continues to phase out gasoline-powered cars. While traditional drivers benefit from lower prices at the pump, EV and hybrid owners—who pay no gas tax—see no direct financial relief from the holiday. The policy highlights a growing divide as states adapt to the shift toward electric transportation. Critics argue the exemption underscores inequities in how fuel savings are distributed among drivers.
