Texas imposes $200 annual fee on electric vehicle owners

Texas is set to impose a $200 annual registration fee on electric vehicle (EV) owners, with exceptions for certain types of vehicles. The fee is intended to cover the cost of public infrastructure that EV owners still rely on. Critics argue that the fee is punitive and will make it harder for Texans to afford clean vehicles. Texas is one of more than a dozen states to impose such a fee, with Georgia being the only other state to charge $200.
