EV Fees Fall Short on Infrastructure | Spokane News

The House is pushing a massive infrastructure bill that includes new fees on electric and hybrid cars to help fund roads and transit—but the Congressional Budget Office says it’s not enough. Even with $35 for hybrids and $130 for EVs starting in 2027, the Highway Trust Fund still faces billions in shortfalls because the core revenue still comes from gas and diesel taxes. The bill passed its committee but now stalls as Ways and Means debates funding, while the Senate moves slowly on similar plans. The real problem? The fees won’t fix the spending gap—and the bill doesn’t guarantee the money goes into the fund. Infrastructure funding remains a messy, unresolved puzzle.
