TEXAS has announced plans to charge vehicle owners a $200 annual fee, as well as a $400 one-time fee for new owners.
The law, signed by Governor Greg Abbott, is set to take effect on September 1 of this year.
Those who have an electric vehicle will be responsible for paying the new annual fee in order to recoup tax money.
Electric vehicle owners do not have to pay taxes on gasoline, since they no longer need it.
According to the Dallas Morning News, this law will not apply to anyone that owns electric motorcycles, mopeds, or autocycles.
These taxes on gas are normally utilized for improvement in the state including schools, highway, and road repairs.
Several states do this now.
You didn’t think the tax man was just going to let you skate with all of that tax money, did you?
