WV HB2748

Imposes additional annual registration fees on alternative fuel vehicles to compensate for lost gas tax revenue that funds road maintenance and construction

Electric vehicles would pay a higher additional fee than hybrid vehicles, reflecting their greater use of electricity versus gasoline

Revenue generated from the fees would be deposited into the state highway fund for transportation infrastructure projects

Applies to passenger vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles that operate on electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, or other alternative fuels

Fee amounts would be phased in over multiple years to allow vehicle owners time to adjust to the new costs
