It could be getting more expensive to drive electric vehicles in the Garden State.
LODI, N.J. -- It could be getting more expensive to drive electric vehicles in New Jersey. State lawmakers are proposing a new fee to register EVs and help fund road and bridge work. The Garden State's roads and bridges are maintained primarily by the taxation of gasoline. Since electric vehicles don't need gas, their owners don't contribute.But AAA says electric vehicles are heavier and cause more wear and tear. 'You know, we can't keep taxing just one user of a product.
At least 32 stated added registration fees for EVs, according to the National Conference for State Legislatures. We found EV drivers charging up at a station in Lodi. They were shocked to hear about the new fee. 'I know the roads need to get fixed. But there has to be another way. $250? Nah,' said Christopher Silvera, of Passaic. It's not just EV owners who will end up paying more.
