(Salem, OR) -- Oregon lawmakers will meet in special session August 29 to consider a bill that raises fuel taxes and vehicle fees while creating a new charge for electric cars. The proposal would require EV owners to pay either two-point-three-cents per mile or a 340-dollar annual fee to offset lost gas tax revenue. The charge would be phased in beginning in 2027, with hybrids added in 2028. Supporters say all drivers should contribute to road costs, though critics argue the plan adds too many new fees at once.
