A Zero-Emission Vehicle Registration Fee is Not a Sustainable Funding Source for Maintaining California’s Roadways

Abstract

Transportation infrastructure funding is falling short at the federal and state level, in part because the fuel tax mechanism is outdated. The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) provides additional revenue for transportation infrastructure improvements by increasing California’s gasoline and diesel taxes, and introducing additional registration fees for vehicles. This includes a new $100 annual fee for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) because they do not use gasoline and therefore do not contribute towards the maintenance of California’s roadways. California is now one of 19 states that have assessed fees on Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs).
