Apologies for the click-bait title, though this is how republican candidate for Bend referred to this recently-passed bill: Oregon House passes $5.3 billion transportation bill
Appears to state a 0.1% payroll tax to be used to fund EV rebates, though I read the bill as stating this is exp cited to fund public transportation improvements for Metro and rural areas...?

Summary of taxes in the proposed bill
GAS TAX: Up 4 cents per gallon in January 2018 and then up 2 cents per gallon every two years until 2024 for a total increase of 10 cents per gallon
BIKE TAX: $15 tax on bicycle purchases of $200 or more
CAR REGISTRATION FEES: Raises the basic fee to $56 and adds sums based on miles per gallon beginning in 2020:

-- For vehicles that have a rating of 20-39 MPG, $23.
-- For vehicles that have a rating of 40 MPG or greater, $33
-- For electric vehicles, $110.
The fees will bump up by a couple of bucks in 2022.
