As EV owners, we don't buy gas, so we don't pay the gas taxes which goes into the highway improvement fund. I am willing to pay a reasonable fee to contribute to the fund since we use the roads too. Currently, Honolulu has a bill proposing a $70 annual EV fee and now Maui has adeed a $250 annual EV fee. That fee just sounds excessive to me? Thoughts anyone?
RE: Maui Budget - Hokama also added some fees, including $20 across the board for permits to use county stadiums, gyms and community centers and a $250 annual “Highway Improvement Fee” for electric and hybrid vehicles, which don’t pay or pay less gas taxes that the county uses for road improvements and repairs.
