Sen. Rebecca Saldaña (D–Seattle) introduced SB 6586 to institute a per-mile charge on electric and hybrid vehicles.
The intent of this bill is to ensure that the greater adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles do not reduce funds to maintain and improve transportation infrastructure.
The per-mile charge for electric and hybrid vehicles is between two cents and three and a half cents per mile, depending on whether the vehicle uses an internal combustion engine.
Dates to remember
This bill will be heard Wednesday, January 29 in the Senate Transportation Committee at 3:30 pm.
