Washoe County Votes on EV Fees

Washoe County is putting a ballot question to voters in November asking whether electric and hybrid car owners should pay extra fees to help fund road repairs and construction, since these vehicles don’t pay gas taxes that traditionally cover such costs. County commissioners voted 3-1 to move forward, with one dissenting and another absent, giving residents a chance to weigh in before any legislation. As state gas tax revenue declines with rising EV adoption, officials are exploring new funding models — and this vote will offer a public signal to lawmakers on whether to pursue similar fees statewide.
