Part 2/10:
The federal EV tax, a newly proposed annual fee of $250 starting from September 30, 2026, has sparked a debate about fairness in taxation for electric vehicles. Currently, the average gas-powered vehicle incurs approximately $1,006 in federal gas taxes annually, meaning that this new EV tax would mean 150% more taxation per year for EV owners. Zach emphasizes the importance of citizens voicing their opinions to Congress, urging them to ensure any taxes levied on EVs are equitable compared to their gas-powered counterparts.
