This bill introduces new taxes on electric vehicles and their batteries to help fund highway maintenance. It aims to ensure that electric vehicle owners contribute to the costs of the roads they use.

(Under current law, to qualify for the tax credit, construction of qualified biogas property must begin on or before December 31, 2024.)
