The US Congress is considering a bipartisan transportation funding bill that includes a new federal annual road user fee for electric vehicles set initially at $130, rising to $150, with plug-in hybrids facing a smaller scaled fee. This fee aims to address shortfalls in road construction funding caused by declining gasoline tax revenues.
