VEHICLES -- Amends existing law to provide for plug-in hybrid vehicle fees, to provide an exception regarding fees for electric vehicles, to revise fee provisions regarding certain hybrid vehicles; and to provide for the apportionment of fees.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Atypical,all-gasolinehybridvehiclederivesallofitsmilesfromgasoline,thesamewayatraditionalvehicle does. The owners of all-gasoline hybrids already pay the appropriate gas tax at the pump. A plug-in hybrid, however, uses the electrical grid as one of its power sources, thus avoiding paying its fair share of gas tax. This legislation removes the additional registration fee for all-gasoline hybrid vehicles while continuing to charge the fee for plug-in hybrids. This legislation also exempts neighborhood electric vehicles from the electric vehicle fee. Emergency clause included.
