Minnesota Legislature approves increased electric vehicle fee to shore up funding for roads and bridges
Electric vehicle owners aren't paying at the gas pump, but they'll soon see higher fees in Minnesota, thanks to a new law doubling the surcharge for those cars to shore up funding for roads and bridges. The current $75 annual fee will double to at least $150. How much someone pays could be steeper if they have a more expensive, newer vehicle, similar to how the state calculates registration fees, which EV owners must still pay. For example, a new EV with a $50,000 retail price would mean a $250 fee based on that calculation, which is more than three times the current rate. The provision was part of a bipartisan transportation package that the divided Legislature approved during Monday's special session and the objective was to find a sustainable path forward for transportation at a time when gas tax revenue — a large source of that support — is declining, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. More electric vehicles on the road, which is the state's goal, will mean even fewer dollars flowing into that account in the future. "There's kind of an irony where we want more fuel-efficient vehicles, but that decreases the amount of money that's going into our roads and bridges to maintain them," said Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville, the Republican co-chair of the House Transportation Committee. "We have about a billion dollars a year funding gap just to maintain our roads and bridges. And so that's why electric vehicles were getting a really good deal before — they're still going to get a pretty good deal." Koznick explained he would have preferred to make the fee flat across the board and not use the formula that would increase the costs for newer vehicles, which he called "convoluted." But it was part of a compromise with Democrats in a divided Capitol, where bipartisan support was required to advance any legislation. EV owners should be paying higher fees because those cars are heavier and do more damage to the roads, he said. The new surcharge takes effect for car registrations after Jan. 1. There is also a new five-cent fee per kilowatt hour of electricity at public charging stations set to take effect in July 2027, at which point the annual surcharge minimum would drop from $150 to $100. Meanwhile, EV advocates are worried increased fees will make consumers pump the brakes on buying one when it's better for the environment. "We do have concerns that we could be discouraging adoption at this point, at a time when the state has said it really wants to support electrification and get more EVs on the roads," said Carolyn Berninger with Drive Electric Minnesota Coalition in a March interview. Only 1% of cars in Minnesota are electric today, Berninger said, but sales are increasing. Seven percent of cars purchased in 2023 were electric, according to the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The state's goal is that 20% of all cars are electric by 2030. "We feel like now is not the time to hike up EV fees because the market is still emerging," Berninger said. Pat O'Brien of St. Paul told WCCO Wednesday that he loves his electric vehicle that he's had for the last few years. He estimates he has saved thousands in that time by not having to pay for gas. He said he isn't quite sure how he feels about the changes. "I understand the reasoning behind why there should be a surcharge, but I'm not sure about this extra—this is news to me that there's yet two more charges," he said.

Trump Transportation Secretary Calls Fuel Economy Standards 'Illegal,' Pushes to Revise Them
It looks like the Trump administration's fight against electric vehicles and alternative fuels has sprouted a proxy battle over Federal fuel economy standards. On top of recently proposed taxes on EVs—as opposed to tax incentives for purchasing them—and attempting to axe California's EPA waiver allowing it to set its own pollution standards, Republicans' 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' aims to remove financial penalties that punish automakers for exceeding government-set fuel economy standards, while also relaxing those same standards. On Friday, the Administration's Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, seemingly putting forth a pretext to undo the Biden-era fuel economy rules, says those rules were 'illegal.' The sharp statement is likely the administration's opening move to reset the standards, per an Associated Press report. In the mentioned rule memorandum sent by Duffy, the Transportation Secretary said, 'We are making vehicle more affordable and easier to manufacture in the United States' by removing those standards. The Biden-era rules mandated that the CAFE average must meet a fleet-wide 49 mpg standard by 2031 in annual increments of two percent for passenger cars starting in 2027 and light trucks and SUVs starting in 2029. A statement by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation welcomed the news stating it was a 'positive development and important clarity from the Department of Transportation' and says it repeated that the Biden Administration rules were 'improperly predicated' on alternative fuel vehicles. Transportation Secretary Duffy went further by stating that the use of EVs in calculating the rules was 'illegal' by ignoring 'statutory requirements' the barred consideration of EVs when setting the standards. At this time, the revised rule hasn't changed the existing standards but it will allow the NHTSA to adjust CAFE standards moving forward. Since his confirmation, Transportation Secretary Duffy has pushed the NHTSA to reverse these rules as quickly as possible, though it's unclear how quickly that can happen given the typically required public comment period and other steps that must be taken when altering them. It's possible that by labeling the existing rules as "illegal," Duffy could be reaching for a shortcut; after all, if the rules were implemented illegally, as he alleges, undoing them might be more straightforward than instituting a more conventional change. But we'll have to wait and see how this plays out—and whether any litigation sprouts up to challenge it.
