MN SF1480

Imposes a road usage charge on all-electric vehicle owners starting July 1, 2026, calculated based on miles traveled within Minnesota multiplied by the gasoline excise tax rate divided by an analogous fuel economy figure for the vehicle's classification and model year

Establishes an adjustment rate of $0.065 per day for vehicles not enrolled in active account management, with charges based on estimated average daily vehicle miles traveled in Minnesota

Phases in the charge over two years: 60% of the calculated rate from July 2026-2027, 80% from July 2027-2028, then full implementation

Requires the commissioner to contract with account providers capable of tracking in-state miles via vehicle manufacturer data or geolocation devices, with strict data privacy protections prohibiting sharing of vehicle-specific geolocation data with the state

Sunsets the current $75 annual all-electric vehicle surcharge for registration periods starting after June 30, 2026, replacing it with the mileage-based charge; revenue deposits to the highway user tax distribution fund
