Should EV Owners Pay for Roads | Reno News

Washoe County voters are deciding this November whether electric vehicle owners should pay an annual fee to help fund road repairs — a move sparked by the declining reliability of gas tax revenue as EVs surge, up over 500% since 2020. Advocates argue it’s fair to ask EV drivers to contribute since they still use public roads. While Nevada lags behind 40+ other states with similar fees, this vote will give lawmakers a public mandate — though the final decision won’t be binding until 2027.
