Alternative fuel tax-electricity amendments.
HB 7 imposes a $0.04 per kilowatt-hour tax on electricity used to charge all-electric vehicles at DC fast charging stations and creates annual decal fees: $200 for all-electric vehicles and $100 for plug-in hybrid vehicles. The bill directly affects EV owners (through registration fees) and charging station operators (through the per-kWh tax). Key mechanisms include defining "all-electric vehicle" and "electricity gallon equivalent" for tax calculations, requiring suppliers to report and remit taxes monthly based on electricity used for vehicle charging, and repealing outdated provisions. The tax applies specifically to electricity used for propulsion, not general electricity consumption.
