Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.OKLAHOMA CITY () – The Oklahoma State Senate passed a bill Thursday to levy a tax on the energy used to charge electric vehicles.House Bill 2234, written by Rep. Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, and Sen. Zack Taylor, R-Seminole, seeks the creation of the Driving on Road Infrastructure with Vehicles of Electricity (DRIVE) Act of 2021.“One of the main sources of funding for Oklahoma’s roads and bridges comes from fuel taxes, but as electric vehicles have become more popular, it’s clear we must find a fair way to ensure those EV drivers are helping support our transportation infrastructure as well,” Taylor said.&nbsp; “That’s what the DRIVE Act will do.”The legislation, if signed into law, levies a three-cent tax per kilowatt hour to charge an electric vehicle. However, there would be no tax for electric vehicles that charge at home, according to a State Senate news release.The bill also seeks to do the following:“For decades, motorists have largely paid for our road infrastructure with fuel taxes. With the DRIVE Act, Oklahoma has passed forward-thinking legislation that will provide funding for our highway system well into the future for the next generation of automobiles,” Hilbert said.The bill next heads to Gov. Kevin Stitt.Suggest a CorrectionThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe NowThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
