A new proposal is making waves in the US House of Representatives, aiming to find a solution to the country's crumbling infrastructure. Lawmakers are suggesting the implementation of a $130 annual fee for electric vehicle (EV) owners, with the revenue generated going towards road repairs and maintenance. The move is seen as a way to recoup the lost gas tax revenue that EVs no longer contribute to, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions. Critics argue that the fee could be a financial burden for EV owners, while supporters claim it's a necessary step to ensure the sustainability of the nation's roads.
