An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions, further providing for definitions; in liquid fuels and fuels tax, further providing for definitions and for imposition of tax, exemptions and deductions and providing for electric vehicle road user charge; and imposing a penalty.

This Pennsylvania law establishes a new annual fee of $290 for owners of noncommercial electric vehicles, replacing the traditional liquid fuels tax that previously exempted these cars. The bill defines specific types of electric and hybrid vehicles to determine eligibility and requires owners to pay this charge concurrently with their vehicle registration fees. Owners can pay the fee as a single annual amount or through a monthly payment plan, and failure to pay within 30 days will result in penalties and a ban on renewing the vehicle's registration. Additionally, the legislation clarifies legal definitions for electric vehicles and hybrids while providing a specific exemption from alternative fuels tax for electricity generated at the owner's home.
