Electric Bill

If you want to keep your electric car, you may have to pay for it:

The annual national registration fee would begin at $250 for electric vehicles and $150 for hybrid vehicles. An earlier version of the bill included a $20 fee for all other vehicles, but it was dropped from the final version that passed the House on Thursday. The only Republicans to vote against the bill were Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio. All House Democrats voted against it. The Senate is now considering the legislation. Under the House-passed bill, the administrator of the Federal Highway Administration would impose the fees each year. According to the text of the bill, a state motor vehicle department must "incorporate the collection of the fees" into the vehicle registration and renewal processes administered by each department "so long as such fees are imposed for each year in which the fees are required."
