New National Car Tax Sparks Debate

A new national vehicle tax bill, HR 8870, is stirring controversy as it proposes annual fees for electric and hybrid cars—with electric vehicles starting at $13 and plug-in hybrids at $35, both set to rise every two years. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has slammed the bill as unconstitutional, warning it could expand to include gas-powered cars and forcing state DMVs to act as federal tax collectors. Though a similar proposal last year was watered down, the push for a car tax remains alive as the bill heads to committee with uncertain amendments ahead.
